Had the best time on board
This was such an amazing trip, it was our first liveaboard and we were a bit skeptical as the photos of the boat look a bit tired. But we had an amazing time, we felt truly taken care of. The food was the best, high quality, fresh and very delicious. The crew were very nice, helpful, and they seemed happy overall which is always a good sign of a well run business.

The best part of the liveaboard was the crew. The crew managed to combine fun, whilst also ensuring everyones safety. From past experiences, this is not easy to do. Special shout out to Molly, Stevie, Blakey and Andi.. The diving was amazing too. I saw so many species I had never seen before and brushed up on my fish knowledge.. I am in awe of the chef who cooks such amazing meals, for 20+ guests, on a moving boat!.

Great Trip
Getting to the best dive sites was challenging due to the wind but Captain Manny and his crew made sure we hit every dive despite the challenge even when it meant staying up all night to put us in the best possible position. The corals were the best in the park. The experience of literally diving into a bunch of sharks was thrilling to say the least

The crew was attentive and fun, the boat was spacious and clean, and the food was delicious and abundant. The dive deck was well organized, you set up your gear one time and they simply refill your tank between dives. We also had a special visit from a large whale shark at the back of the boat!

Great diving well looked after by an excellent crew
Overall the team were excellent. I am not sure we got to experience all the sites that were highlighted on the itinerary but we did get to see many sharkes, and a few rays. The topography was stunning with many swim throughs We were offered up to 5 dives on 4 of the days which was great. I might have preferred to start earlier in the morning to spread the dives out a little more and get a little more chill time.

Came as strangers, left as friends
We had booked a long time ago, but my wife isn't a diver, so the fact that she was able to come on board and was offered a fantastic, alternative program was worth it. The whole time, from onboarding to offboarding, we had a fantastic, fun time on the AquaCat. The crew was crucial to the great atmosphere; they were always there, helpful, and courteous. As a beginner (under 50 dives), I felt completely accepted by the professionals there. The conversations with the guests and crew, who had come from almost all over the world, were exciting, informative, and informative. Life on board was very well structured, at least for the divers, but the great thing about it was that there was never a feeling of stress; it never arose. The briefings were sometimes really harsh, but they served their purpose; the divers could all get along with them, and the instructions were clearly worded, although they depended on the specific dive spot. Of course, there were highlights at the dive spots, but book it and experience it for yourself; I can't even begin to describe it here; you have to dive it. We are beyond thrilled; it was a fantastic experience on board the AquaCat with this crew and guests. You arrive as strangers and leave as friends; that's the feeling we've developed. We thank the crew of the AquaCat from the bottom of our hearts for these wonderful days with you. An experience that we will always cherish in the best, most positive memories. We say "THANK YOU"! Best regards, Sandra and Goran

Luxury liveaboard diving
In the lull following the winter holidays, with the added effects of the U.S. partial govt shutdown, there were only 17 guests on-board a boat that accommodates 29. So there was lots of extra space to spread out on the dive deck, and I had a solo cabin. I've been on the Aquacat before when it was fully booked, and it was just fine, but going during a slack period is even better if you can manage it. The captain did a great job of selecting dives sites where current and other conditions were excellent. A second shark feed-- staged on the Austin Smith wreck-- was particularly enjoyable. The cabins, public spaces, dive deck, and equipment were all in great condition. Food, as always, was superb, and the chef did an outstanding job of catering to special dietary restrictions. Camera working and charging facilities on the dive deck were very good. One of the joys of liveaboard travel is getting to know interesting folks from around the world, and this trip did not disappoint. There were people from Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, Peru, Canada, and U.S., including a best-selling author and a student of marine biology who teaches juggling and tightrope-walking at circus camp.

I can not begin to think of words to describe the amazing time we had aboard The Aqua Cat. I do not have any complaints about my week. The dive guides were fun while keeping you safe, the food & drink was amazing, best I’ve ever eaten & drank on a liveaboard. The rooms were kept clean & beds made every day. Nothing was ever to much trouble, plus the large group staying that week made us part of the gang. So all round - AMAZING 🤩
