Hallo Edy, Burt and crew

I would like to thank for this unforgettable trip to Komodo, it was realy a lot of fun and an adventure diving with you. Your effort of keeping these untouched reefs in Indonesia for the next generation can not be enough recognized. It will be for sure not my last trip with the Pindito as I have still the Raja Ampat trip in my head - strange it will not move out of it.

Wish you all the best

Adrian

Hi Fellow Divers,

Most divers would jump at invitation to dive Pindito. Well it took me 15 years to finally find the time to accept. What a mistake that was...should have done it 15 years ago when Edi first offered. Here's a report. Thanks Edi and the entire Pindito crew. Best Fishes, Burt

We went on the Raja Ampat tour in April/May and have not stopped talking and thinking about it since. Everything about our holiday was wonderful, the company of both the other guests and the crew, the diving and the level of service. We are relative beginners and I was a little intimidated with the currents but Bob, Mike and Connie all helped me out and made my dives safe and fun! The swim-throughs, caves, sharks and manta cleaning station were all fantastic and the visual feast before your eyes at every turn was amazing.

It was also a privilege to meet Edi on the last night...thanks for sharing your dream boat!

We will be back....

When traveling halfway around the world to dive one would like it to be special and the Pindito certainly delivers. The moment I embarked I could feel the energy of the crew and their eagerness to make my days aboard unforgettable, and they did!

I could write about the delicious food and the incredible service, always with beautiful smiles.

I could write about the village tour, golfing, speedboat tours, wake boarding, quiet reading time, cruising time, camaraderie with the other guests and the crew, from the captain to the stewards.

I could write pages about the dive operation and all the amazing underwater creatures, as well as the enthusiasm of the dive masters and the joy they took in finding everything we were looking for and things I never even knew existed. They made me feel safe and are fun and funny and interesting and there are not enough positive adjectives to describe them and their competence.

But to keep it short and to the point I will just say that I disembarked yesterday and the very first thing I did was book my trip back for next year!

And let us not forget the party.....what a glorious happy ending!
Connie, Mike and Bob.....Terima kasih atas semuanya. Itu sangat menyenangkan. Semoga bisa cepat bertemu lagi. Bila Anda pergi ke Amerika Serikat, Anda ditunggu dengan senang hati.

Hi there dear people on Pindito!

Yesterday we were diving in the nice cool waters of the Netherlands and we of course thought back of our wonderful holiday on board Pindito doing the Raja Ampat cruise from December 24 to January 2. It is now more than 8 months ago, but we still enjoy the memories. OK, our clothes at first did not make it from Manado to Sorong, but who cares about clothes if you can dive! We saw a Wobbegong on the very first dive and after that many more, next to white tips, a leopard shark, bamboo shark, catfish, barracuda´s, blue spotted rays, lobsters, octopus, cuttle fishes, murray eels, mantis shrimps, stone fishes, crocodile fishes, file fishes, many spotted sweetlips, fusiliers, razorfishes, snappers, nudibranch, hingeback shrimps, turtles and many, many, many, MANY pygmee seahorses (there were even ten living on one sea fan!!) Every dive was great and we also greatly enjoyed the little boat rides along the mysterious and beautiful islands.
The fireworks of this Sylvester were extra special, far away from other people, it seemed to be just us and the stars!..... but at midnight we saw on the horizon other firework and light signals, not alone after all! Funny feeling to dive into the new year so many hours ahead of friends and family in the Netherlands. Many of our fellow divers tried a truly New Years dive, led enthusiastically by Helle, die Spass Granate!
Yes, also this second time, we truly enjoyed the dives and the company again on board of Pindito. Thank you, dear Crew for the care you took of us, thanks Mike, Connie and Helle for showing us beautiful things. Till next time!

Thanks to the entire crew for the great time we had on our trip in April 2010.
Though the boat was designed by a famous Swiss diver and videographer, and though all the other guests were Swiss or German, my wife and I, two Midwest Americans, were extremely comfortable with the entire arrangements.
The briefings were in English, and all three divemasters were very fluent in English as well as in at least two other languages.
All divemasters were highly competent--and adaptable when we expressed an interest in seeking other critters than what they preferred to pursue.
The rest of the crew were wonderfully friendly and talented. The closing concert by the Indonesian crew was a memorable finish to the trip.
Lee & Nancy, with over 1900 dives between us.

Hello Pindito Crew, I just wanted to say Thanks for a wonderful Raja Ampat trip with you guys on Nov. 9-20, 2009. Everything was perfect, especially the diving. We are definately spoiled now! I appreciate all of the attention to detail that was put into the trip, and how effortless it all seemed, even though I know how much work you all did to make everything go so smoothly. Especially Bob, who worked so hard everyday to keep everyone happy! Solomon and I really enjoyed our experience on the Pindito, and look forward to a Komodo trip in the near future!
Sincerely,
Shannon McMaster

Hi Conny, Mike, Helle and of course all of the friendly Pindito-Crew

Being back in Zurich after a fantastic trip on the Pindito from Bali to Komodo, the lovely daily grind caught me again... It wasn't an easy step to visit this homepage though...
Well, I just fully agree with Elmar's comment!
Thanks to the contributions of all of you you really made my holidays unique and for sure unforgettable. Congratulations to the fantastic team and the outstanding Crew, keep up the good work and spirit!
For the time being I still savor the memories of Pindito and as Elmar already mentioned this wasn't for sure our last trip with you guys :-)
Hope to see you soon, all the best from Zurich, Delia
