A week in paradise
We stayed at Epica for a week.The personal highlight was the dive site "Melissas Garden".A great variety of fish and great intact reefs.We were more than satisfied with the professional crew and with Karin as our guide!She found even the smallest seahorses and thus fulfilled a dream of my friend to see them in the water.

Great!
Two Americans on epica for the week, 19 dives, great food but lots of fried food. Always rice, veggies and protein, we are vegan and always had tofu or tempeh. Easy accommodations with AC! 12 people on board plus staff, two bathrooms. Great staff, always excited to see you! Diving with groups of 3-4. Great experience! Top dives in raja Ampat!

Absolutely beautiful diving, amazing staff and serious value for money
Every dive brought something completely different, barracuda and trevally schools, rays, huge jump head parrotfish and the most beautiful, pristine coral. Raja ampat is absolute paradise, with stunning sunsets every evening. The Epica and it’s amazing staff made it an unforgettable experience

Fabulous
I did a 7d/6n cruise aboard Epica which was fabulous. The dive sites are great, there is a bit of daily navigation but without being excessive which allows us to rest between dives. The boat is open which gives an impression of freedom, with places in the sun, others in the shade, mattresses and poufs which is very pleasant to rest. The cabins are small but comfortable with AC, shower and toilet correct and clean. The meals were all excellent! And the team was really very professional, listening to our desires while remaining discreet and non-invasive. Juanita the dive director was really very nice, very professional and very attentive to everyone! I recommend 100%
