Flawless liveaboard in pristine Raja Ampat
From start to finish, this was an extraordinary experience! 29 dives on pristine dive sites with unparalleled marine life diversity. I had the great pleasure of being assigned resident videographer Marcelo as my dive guide. His passion and knowledge of all things great and small in the ocean really enhanced my experience and raised my game as a diver and UW photographer. I dived with the other guides as well and they were all exceptional. During the 8 days of diving we encountered all kinds of macro life imaginable, along with manta rays, sharks, wobbegongs, enormous schools of barracudas and so on. Diving in the mangroves was a definite highlight. Boat operation is flawless, with an exceptionally friendly crew going the extra mile to ensure a great dive experience, such as dry towels and hot drinks after dives. Very much appreciated. A special shoutout to the cooks onboard who prepared plentiful and varied meals and snacks which were delicious regardless if it was Asian or Western food. The boat itself is in very good condition and the cabins are very comfortable. All in all, I had an awesome experience onboard Mermaid I and I cannot wait to return to explore other parts of Indonesia.

Mermaid I solid dive Liveaboard to go with!
Verry clean boat! Had a conscientious trip leader who always coordinated with other boats dive schedule at sites. Definitely appreciated the long 70+ min dive times. Schedule had only one night dive but would be neat to see coral spawning. very clean boat conscientious trip leader coordination to avoid other dive boats at sites appreciated long 70+ min dive times. Only one night dive but would have been neat to see coral spawning. Smaller dive deck, but split groups to prepare, four guests to a guide. Food variety better than most liveaboards, had starlink limit to 3 gb great! Banda fort visit was cool.

Highly recommended Komodo trip in June-July
I did a "Bali-Komodo-Bali" liveaboard with Mermaid I from 23rd June to 2nd July and it was great. The staff looks after you with maximum care: they provide fresh towels after every dive, they offer drinks after every dive, they clean your suit after every dive, they measure the Nitrox for you, they clean the rooms every day, they serve you in the restaurant. The boat is kept nice and clean, the food is good quality and quantity. In terms of dives: we saw the whales sharks in the Saleh Bay, mantas in South Komodo, some reef sharks, one eagle ray and plenty of beautiful corals. There are a lot of dives dedicated to "macro" marine life and be ready to have fun with some drift dives also. In summary: Komodo will offer literally a bit of everything that a diver can wish.
