Best diving trip so far

I had the best diving experience ever on this ship. Dive sites were out of this world, beautiful reefs and mantas. Also got to see the Komodo Dragons! Great guides, crew and food. Can't go wrong, would definitely recommend.

Great trip with really great dive guides

Amazing dive sites with really beautiful and healthy coral reefs. The dive guide was really great at helping us navigate the dive sites and the currents and conditions. The liveaboard had the most amazing food and the crew was lovely and constantly taking care of us. Had a brilliant trip!

The only way to experience Komodo

You get a big variety of dives - drift, strong current, chill reef dives, divers marine life, and night dives. You will never be hungry and the food is awesome. The staff (guides and crew on board) were top class. Sleeping on the deck was refreshing and really nice. Would definitely do it again.
