About Calico Jack

She carries a maximum of just 10 guests in 5 air-conditioned en-suite cabins, with a crew of 10 including a marine biologist cruise director. Diving runs from two dedicated tenders in small groups of no more than 5 divers per guide, with 3 to 4 dives a day, free-flowing Nitrox, dual compressors and a dedicated camera station. Itineraries cover Raja Ampat, the Banda Sea, Triton Bay and Cenderawasih Bay. The team can also help guests arrange local accommodation before and after the trip.
