Fantastic
Obviously the diving. I particularly enjoyed the shark dive, though there were several sharks on some of the other dive sites. Very friendly sharks.

Great diving in the Bahamas
We had high winds and the captain worked hard to make sure that we did not miss any dives. Three hot meals a day was a nice surprise. The main drawback would be that the boat itself is small. The rooms offer little space beyond the bed. For the price, that is to be expected but it may be worth the extra cost to choose a liveaboard with larger cabins and private bathrooms

Family-friendly, flexible and professional!
The highlights were definitely that the crew of the Cat Ppalu was an all-girls crew. The quartet had everything under control and made the week the best ever!Dives on beautiful and colorful reefs with lots of fish and reef sharks and rays again and again. The excellent gourmet food and the fun company rounded this off perfectly.

Great boat, great crew, great holiday.
We had a genuinely fantastic trip on this liveaboard and, overall, it offered great value for money. The boat itself isn’t trying to be luxury or high-end – and that’s exactly why it works so well. It delivers everything you need, and it does it brilliantly. The cabins were comfortable and while they aren’t en-suite this was never a problem - the shared showers and heads were always clean, there was always hot water and they were regularly checked. The entire boat was consistently spotless and very well organised throughout the trip. What really stood out for us was the crew. Every single member of the team was professional, friendly, and clearly took pride in what they were doing. The operation ran smoothly from start to finish. The food was excellent, and the drinks offering – especially given that it was included – was fantastic. The dive guide was superb – knowledgeable, organised, and clearly passionate about what she does. The diving itself wasn't as good as we'd hoped it might be (hence the 3 star rating) but this was down to environmental conditions and weather, not the crew or the boat. Plus, we hadn't dived for 6 years so this was a nice re-introduction to the sport and meant that we were able to pick and choose which dives we did. Overall, we had an amazing trip. The captain, dive guide, cook, chief engineer and cabin crew all contributed to a really enjoyable experience - our thanks to them for making this a really fabulous trip.

Great first liveaboard
This was our first liveaboard and it was a great experience the staff were really awemsone and fun, the food was too good. The dives were ok, lots of dead reefs, but some cool wrecks and dramatic landscape made up for it.

Fantastic crew & diving, ok boat :)
Sharks, gorgeous walls, beautiful coral gardens, super friendly crew.
- Recommended for
- You’ll love the diving, the sites are beautiful, with pristine coral gardens, walls and plenty of marine life. The crew is also fantastic and takes really great care of you. With that in mind, the boat cabins, while comfortable, were very noisy simply due to the architecture of the boat, and even with earplugs, it’s tough to sleep well most nights.
