Awesome diving in Raja Ampat with great crew
Really awesome diving in Raja Ampat, lots of marine life, beautiful coral reefs, lots of mantas!! Crew is super attentive and friendly, very good service overall. Food was varied and tasty. Besides diving, we also went to a viewpoint, jellyfish lake, kayaking so had a great time overall and would highly recommend Mermaid I.

Great trip to a fantastic location with a great crew
This was my first liveaboard experience since 1990 and it was an amazing trip. The level of service by the crew, both for the diving operation and for the overall comfort of the passengers was great. The crew was extraordinarily friendly and helpful, the food was good and plentiful, Cabins were comfortable and clean, dive briefings were very good and helpful (as an instructor I have a certain professional appreciation for this) and the dive operation was great. As an example, the oxygen percentage of the nitrox varied minimally (between 32.1 and 32.5). The dive sites were spectacular, more so in the Missool area than in the north and the amount of wildlife we saw was the best I have ever seen. I would do the trip on the Mermaid again in a heartbeat.

Absolutely Fabulous!
My daughter and I went on the Mermaid 1 for a 10 day trip to Komodo. Everyone involved was genuinely friendly, fun, helpful, informative, and hard working! The entire dive crew were awesome! Everyone was quick to help you with all the diving details - from getting ready (zipping wetsuits), locating gear, getting on the dingy (Helping get on and putting your fins on for you), getting into the dingy after the dive, and getting off the dingy (Unzipping, Cleaning your wetsuit and gear). The diving itself was obviously fantastic. The food was delicious! It was obvious that everyone genuinely wanted every guest to be happy and have the best time in all facets of the trip! I highly recommend!

A great Raja Ampat trip
We've done both Komodo (2019) and Raja Ampat (2025) on the Mermaid I and we've enjoyed both trips very much! Super easy logistics, towels and drinks after each dive (and hot drinks after each night dive!). Long 70 minute dives (60 for night dives) with 4 divers per guide. A plus that they now have Starlink internet also!
