As good as it gets

You would be seriously pressed to find a better diving and vacation experience. This live-aboard hits all the top marks with diving and pure comfort yet they still find ways to raise the bar on board. Just when I thought the food could not get any better, the best lobster tail I’ve ever eaten made an appearance.

Absolutely incredible - the trip of a lifetime!

Honestly this is the best liveaboard I've ever been on and I've been on 10+ around the world. The boat was amazing, the service was incredible, and the experience was beyond anything I could have imaged. We saw dolphins, orcas, whale sharks, and schooling hammerheads all in 1 day! It was insane!!! This is an absolute must-do trip for divers! My husband and I can't wait to go again!

Recommended for: the diving (whale sharks, hammerheads, dophins, and orcas!!!), the boat (so luxurious), the crew (so friendly and so helpful!)
