The last paradise, dived from your own boat.
We live aboard a traditional Phinisi, moving between Misool, Dampier Strait and hidden lagoons — three or four dives a day, island hikes and sunset drone sessions in between.
Open to certified divers (AOWD recommended). I film above and below water — every guest goes home with a personal photo set and a film of the crossing.
Normally, you can calculate around USD 5,600 in total for the trip including the charter price and the usual tips, plus additional optional costs such as equipment rentals, Nitrox or other extras.

Photos & Film
At the end of the trip, there will be a full photo gallery for the whole group. Most likely, everyone will also have some personal pictures, but there will definitely be a shared group trip gallery that everyone can access and use for personal purposes.
There will also be one official aftermovie of the expedition, created and published by me, together with a selection of social media frames that you can share on your own channels. The final content will be delivered no later than two weeks after the trip.
All delivered photos, videos, and social media frames can be shared and re-edited for your own personal use. When publishing any of the content, Ben Tischhauser must always be credited and tagged as the photographer/content creator.
