Amazing food, activities & crew during our first Liveaboard
We had an excellent experience during our first liveaboard. The food was much better and fancy than we expected. Besides, the activities, including panga rides, snorkeling and land excursions were great. Lastly, the crew was always very kind and helpful.

Spectacular diving with professional crew and nice travel group.
The trip was great! Arrival and boarding was organized very efficient. The vessel was well suited for the trip, with professional and well-maintained equipment. The crew was simply outstanding. All dive briefings focused fully on safe diving, and to let the group having a joint dive experience. Underwater experience was great, although the water temp turned out to be unusually warm, which let to pelagics staying in greater depth. Nevertheless, we had numerous hammerhead (school) encounters all over the trip. A particular highlight was the "equator baptism", where the crew celebrated with us the equator crossing in a very funny way. :-) In addition to offshore diving, we explored near-shore diving with lots of seal encounters and even some bird watching along the coast. All in all, an unforgettable once-in-a-lifetime trip, surely worth the long travel.
