Perfect week on the Discovery 1.
We had a wonderful week. The entire crew was very friendly and accommodating and fulfilled all our wishes. The dive sites were also excellent. We saw sharks, a lot of octopuses, turtles etc. We would love to come back.

Looking forward to go again!
This was my first liveaboard experience, and I am after this trip already planning my next one. We were warmly welcomed aboard by the crew and we were well taken care of for the next 8 days. The briefings were very accurate and good, and the dives were excellent.

Mixed feelings
I was incredibly looking forward to this liveaboard tour with the Discovery 1 – and as far as life on board is concerned, I was not disappointed. No shoes for a week, the whole day in a bikini with a pareo – that's exactly how I had imagined it. The motto "Eat, Dive, Sleep, Repeat" describes this trip perfectly. The food was varied, plentiful and really delicious. The crew created a relaxed atmosphere, and within a few days we grew together as guests into a small family. It was precisely this sense of community that made the week so special for me. Unfortunately, we were less lucky under water. We only saw a few white tip sharks, otherwise the hoped-for wildlife failed to materialize. That's a pity, but nobody can do anything about it – nature just doesn't stick to our wishes. What I was not entirely happy with, however, was the organization of the dives. I found the division with two guides for 20 divers to be of little use. Beginners and very experienced divers were mixed without any recognizable structure. As a result, different levels of experience had to be constantly taken into account. I would have liked to see groups that were put together according to ability. Even with the guides, I sometimes had the feeling that the focus was more on finishing the dives quickly and coming back to the surface instead of taking time for the group or discovering the underwater world. Especially on a liveaboard where diving is the focus, I would have liked more commitment and peace and quiet. My conclusion: As a liveaboard, the Discovery 1 was great – great ship, excellent food, a wonderful atmosphere and a crew that makes you feel comfortable. However, the organization of the dives and the underwater guidance have potential for me to improve. Nevertheless, I take many beautiful memories home with me.

I will definitely go on more liveaboards.
A very well organized and thoughtful liveaboard with a great crew and great dive sites. The food was very good and plentiful. The highlight was a 15-member Dolphin group swimming around us for minutes.

Incredible diving and full experience!
Such an incredible experience! The route and dive sites were great, we were very lucky and saw sharks. The crew were amazing, super helpful and friendly, dive guides included! The food was great, healthy and always so much! Cabins were as expected in a liveaboard, small but comfortable. The group were the best and made the trip that much more special!
