Awesome trip
I’ve been on 4 lives boards now, and this has been the best one. It’s advertised as a budget trip, but the boat is quite comfortable and the food is good. The dive masters and other crew were fantastic. The dive sites are some of the best in the world.

Amazing staff, great food, awesome dives
Ricky was absolutely the best dive master. Overall the whole team was great. The boat was exactly what you see in the pictures. The food was really tasty. And the dives were well thought out and planned. The one critic I might add is the composition of the dive groups. Ask for more rotation right from the beginning, or you might end up diving with someone that is not at your level.

The best liveaboard, run by locals
A full boat crews run by locals! The crews are all full with passion for the sport, and the community behind it. The "crew nanny" kept everyone well fed and hydrated, the "trip leader" kept everything well organized n solved all the problems that came up, the "dive guides" kept us informed of the finest details on the following dive sites and making sure everyone is having fun above and under water! All the dives guides have a very good understanding of the dive site, planned ahead according to the currents and their guest divers capabilities. If you are looking for some real authentic Indonesian experience, a true Labuan Bajo live-aboard, with world class service, this is it!

Once in a lifetime experience, well worth every penny!
This was so worth every cent! We had 10 incredible dives through some of the most beaut sites in the world. We swam with mantas, sharks and turtles. The crew made us amazing meals and had very thorough breedings before each dive. We also had a beach clean up day which haven’t really good to help give back after seeing the pristine park! You will not regret! Marcel the cruise director went above and beyond to ensure sure we all felt safe, were comfortable and having fun!

An ethical and affordable way to experience the biodiversity of Komodo National Park.
There were so many! From close encounters with manta and giant sting rays to diving with sharks, barracudas, tuna, and even a sea snake among other things, the diving opportunities offered by this liveaboard are unparalleled. At all times, the crew worked hard to take care of our needs and they deserve a huge shout out. All the dives were handled expertly, with good equipment and knowledgeable dive masters, and I felt very safe in their hands. An awesome experience!
