The Voyager and Kararu Dive Voyages
About Kararu Dive Voyages
.... our objectives, company history, our vessel and the people behind Kararu.
Our Objectives
Kararu Dive Voyages was started with the objective of bringing Indonesia's
scarcely seen underwater treasures to a broader base of divers under the
belief that first hand experience is the key to education and therefore
conservation. Actively assisting in raising funds and awareness for conservation
is the cornerstone of the company. Bringing tourism to rarely visited areas of Indonesia and educating the local population in the benefits of reef and fish conservation is the key to preserving the fragile seas of Indonesia.
Kararu Dive Voyages recognizes that it is at the forefront in being able to
make a long term difference and help to ensure that Indonesia's treasure
and its local cultures are preserved for the benefit of all.
Our Peoples
Experience on board and behind the scenes is essential to any successful
scuba diving liveaboard operation.
Kararu Dive Voyages has carefully selected and trained a team of 19 Indonesian
crew members from al over the Indonesia archipelago. The combination of these different island cultures, combined with the crew's natural and sincere kindness towards others makes for a special team of gifted seamen and friendly
personalities.
Experienced and professional dive staff are also important, Karl Klingeler and
Linda Johnston are Kararu's 2 dynamic dive masters. They are fully qualified
PADI, NAUI, BSAC & TDI/SDI instructors with thousands of dives logged. Their
local experience and knowledge of marine life habitat will lead you to the secret places only those intimately familiar with the area can.
