Explore The Wonders Of Indonesia
The Seven Seas Team
Well-trained, Professional, Attentive and Safety Conscious
Over 20 years of experience sailing the waters of Indonesia
Discover its secrets
The vessel and its operations are run by our wonderful 18 crew including our Cruise Director who have led liveaboard adventures in these waters for over a decade on various vessels. Yet they remain as committed and enthusiastic as they were on the very first trips.
The Crew Onboard
The crew onboard consists of a team of hand-picked individuals that work together like a well-oiled machine. Some of the key crew members, including the vessels two Captains, have been working with Mark for over twenty years. They are more like family to us than employees. Many of the other crew members have been onboard since the launching of Seven Seas.
We are very proud of our crew and take time to concentrate on group dynamics, morale and their general wellbeing. One of the first thing you will notice onboard is how professional and safety conscious our crew are as they go about their daily routine. You will not find a more loyal, experienced, or happier, crew anywhere in Indonesia.
Mark Heighes
First travelled to Indonesia as a dive guide in 1982. By the mid 1980s he was leading trips across the Banda Sea from Bali to Ambon and back.
He is regarded as one of the true pioneers of diving in Indonesia and has probably discovered more sites in Eastern Indonesia than anyone else in the business. He is responsible for all onboard operations and his experience in the region is second to none.
Angel Martin
Angel was born in Barcelona, Spain. He has been in the diving industry since 2008, working in Thailand, Maldives, Malaysia and Indonesia as a dive guide/dive instructor and also taking care of the dive operations as a Cruise Director.
In 2022 he moved to Indonesia where he has been leading trips working as a Cruise Director for the last 4 years in Komodo, Sumbawa, Banda Sea, Forgotten Islands, East of Flores and Raja Ampat. With more than 6.000 dives under his belt Angel is our full time Cruise Director. He has a keen eye for spotting critters, loves macro photography above and below water and has a great attention to detail.
Alex del Olmo, PhD
Also from Barcelona, Alex has over 20 years of experience in the diving industry and more than 8,000 dives completed (mostly in Indonesia). His former role as our Cruise Director, alongside with his background and knowledge make him an excellent choice to lead our sales and marketing team.
Alex will be your point of contact for any queries regarding bookings trips and itineraries. As a former Phd. University professor and a multi-awarded underwater cameraman Alex will be personally in charge of our Learning Adventure trips and underwater image charters.
