I got every cent worth of value for my money and I highly recommend this boat for experienced divers and underwater photographers.
The experience was top class. The boat was well maintained and the staff were attentive. The diving met and surpassed expectations. The food was, as always, in abundance, and very good, no matter your dietary requirements. Nothing negative to say.

11 perfect nights from Raja Ampat to Ambon.
11 nights from Raja Ampat to Ambon including Missol and Banda islands, The nature both above and underwater was wonderful. Healthy reefs, massive schools of fishes, guides did good job spotting rare species. Because all the long crossings were done at night, we maximized our diving time and still got to rest. As usual in Indonesia, crew and dive guides do their best to accommodate every request and make everyone happy. Trip was perfectly completed with a visit to Banda Neira and a beach sunset on a sandbank. Fantastic boat and route.

A unique and memorable experience on a more traditional wooden sailboat
Alot of varied dive sites with differing topography. More of a traditional sailing feel without all those unneeded luxuries. Crew was very nice. Amazing scenery along the way. As a more novice diver, the team accommodated my skill level well.

Absolutely booking with them again!
It was amazing! There was adequate breaks between dives to ogle photos from the prior dive, eat/drink, take a nap, or just soak in the amazing scenery. Very well organized and communication was amazing, even when it was a developing situation due to someone getting DCS. They took care of us like family. I rented all my gear, except mask and they were all amazingly taken care of and when the mouth piece wearing out they replaced it before I even had a chance to mention it.

- Organization and communication. Dive briefs and communication of expectations for the dive. Personalities of the crew: there were always little jokes and cheers and water being advertised as more than just water to hydrate us: “wine before your dive?” Haha.

Amazing experience overall.
This was no doubt one of the best diving trips I have done. Yes the dive sites were amazing, but the positive experience would not have happened if not facilitated by the Ilike boat crew. They all worked well as a team; They have a system that worked well, everyone remembered which equipments were whose etc - they were all ready for each dive. A big shout out to Cruise Director Eduard who led the team by example. He was very knowledgable and adjusted the itinerary to maximise our diving experience. Overall, a very memorable experience. Thank you!

Can't wait to go back on the Ilike!
The 30 mantas at Manta Alley, the frogfish and its little eyes, the splendor of the sites each having something special to discover, the evenings watching the shooting stars on deck, the precise and fun briefings at the same time, the hoohoos of the crew when we came back from diving, the beauty of the Ilike with all sails out, the care with which each member of the crew does their job, starting with the Liveboard director, David, who creates an atmosphere that is both warm and professional. In short, it was 12 days of joy and magnificent dives

- The top dives - the crew as efficient as they are adorable - the sweetness of life on the Ilike
