This custom-designed liveaboard was built with divers in mind to bring you the very best diving holiday experience possible. Previously, sailing the stunning dive sites of the Solomon Islands as M/V Taka, this steel-hulled vessel boasts an experienced boat crew, dive team and chefs to ensure the highest standards of service.

Pacific Master features 12 cabins allowing comfortable accommodation for up to 20 guests. These are categorised into one en-suite premium double cabin, five en-suite premium double/twin cabins, four standard single cabins and two standard twin cabins with shared bathroom facilities.

An incredibly spacious lounge and dining area is located on the main deck of the boat providing plenty of air-conditioned space to unwind and enjoy the on-board cuisine. An expansive dive deck leads perfectly to the dive platform, and also boasts a dedicated camera area for our photographer guests. Individual dive stations provide plenty of space and storage for your dive kit. This area also provides individual toilets, freshwater showers and rinse tanks for your equipment.

If you prefer to relax in the sunshine and fresh air, the large sun deck comes complete with comfortable loungers to lie back and enjoy the views.

The ✨ extra ✨ things on this trip I really enjoyed/appreciated: flowing fizzy water, bathrobe, delicious homemade peanut butter, loose-leaf tea station, having so much space on the boat, and a really nice yoga session taught by Alexa... all of that to say, I REALLY enjoyed the trip, so much so that I booked the next trip! Thank you to all the crew for a fantastic time ☺︎

I truly enjoyed my experience with Master Liveaboards. Alexa is so through and patient with guest it is inspirational. The level of expertise of Ghee, Marif and Alexa is exceptional and the eye of spotting sea life is brilliant. I truly enjoyed getting to know and experience diving with the guides. I cannot say enough good things about Alexa, she works very hard and uses all her energy for the guest to maximize their enjoyment. Regardless of the detours needed we never missed a beat on the trip and that alone is enough to applaud the crew for their endurance for change and shifting things around to accommodate all and make everyones experience as maximized as possible. Knowing the dive professional world and watching them all handle each situation with care and attention was overwhelming positive. I cannot say enough good things about my trip to Komodo, thank you thank you
