Dive Damai

This depends on how long you plan to be in Indonesia and your nationality. There is currently a visa exemption for over 160 countries which allow citizens of these countries to stay in Indonesia for a maximum of 30 days with no extensions. This visa exemption is free. Click on the "Daftar Negara Bebas Visa Kunjungan" option from this website: https://www.imigrasi.go.id/visa_exe/index/ for the full list of countries eligible for this exemption.

​

If you plan to stay in Indonesia longer than 30 days, you can apply for Visa on Arrival (VoA) at your port of your entry. A VoA will cost you US$35 or IDR500,000 (to be paid in cash) and is valid for 30 days with the possibility of extending for 30 more days at any of Indonesia's immigration offices. Click on the "Negara" option at this website: https://www.imigrasi.go.id/apply_ri/tourism/visaonarrival/ for the list of the 62 countries eligible for V0A.

​

If your country is not listed in either the visa exemption or VoA list, you will have to apply for a visa from an Indonesian Embassy/Consulate in your home country.

​

Please note that to enter Indonesia, your passport must be valid for a minimum of 6 months from your arrival date and that there must be at least one blank page in the passport. You must also have a ticket showing an onward journey from Indonesia.

​

IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the recent COVID-19 Pandemic situation, Indonesia has suspended most visa and imposed a number of entry ban. In view of the constant changing travel restrictions, we urge all our guests to contact the Indonesia Embassy in your own country to reconfirm the procedure you should follow. We will continue to monitor the current situation and will update with the latest developments. As always, we are ready to welcome you with an open arm, a big smile and extra eagerness to help.

​

For all food requirement(s), be it health or preference, Dive Damai will do our best to fulfill your request. Our friendly reservation staff will reach out to you with the registration form, in which is a section specifically designated for these purposes. Kindly note your request there and we will try our best to make it happen.

​

Dive Damai has extensive experience managing the food requirements of guests with many different backgrounds and health conditions. We know exactly what we need to do to fulfill those requests. Though, due to the remoteness of locations in which we travel, some of these ingredients are not available locally and are therefore delivered directly to the boat from our head office. To ensure that we have sufficient stock of what you need onboard, we require a minimum of 3 weeks’ notice on all requests. Please reach out to our reservation staff at reservations@dive-damai.com directly with your requests should you not have received your registration form in due time.

​

We will do everything in our power to ensure that your needs are met and to provide you with your preference. However, we do ask for your understanding that we will not be able to provide for extravagant requests such as truffles, caviar, wagyu steak, etc. Please also understand that there are some brands of items that are not available to purchase in Indonesia, therefore we will not be able to provide such items.

​

In support of the local economy, we aim to purchase locally as many of the items we use onboard as possible. To ensure freshness, we buy all of our fresh produce (mainly vegetables and fruits) locally. This means we have only such seasonal items available to us and are unable to purchase some produce that does not grow within Indonesia.

All diving passengers must be a certified diver of minimum Open Water level and be physically fit to dive. With prior arrangement, we can certify divers on the vessel, but you should have completed all theory and confined water training prior to the trip and bring with you all the corroborating documentation. You can contact your dive shop at home for more information.

​

If you are not a certified Open Water diver, we can also organize a limited number of "Discovery Dive" with a qualified dive instructor on board the vessel, please contact our reservation team at reservations@dive-damai.com for more information on this.

​

For those who are on board with the "All Inclusive Package" and would like to dive with Enriched Air Nitrox, you must be Enriched Air Nitrox certified. If you are not yet certified, a short training course can be provided on board with prior arrangement at an extra cost. Click here for more information on this cost
