Amazing adventure, unique experiences and awesome people
Met and got to know some really amazing people as we dove together in the most amazing dive spots in the world. One dive we just lay on the ocean floor for 50 minutes watching five mantas hovering over a cleaning station - unbelievable!!! So many fish!!! Species you won’t see anywhere else. The side excursions were really fun and interesting. Twelve days barely seemed enough! Thanks Stefan, Mila, Ungke and crew for an amazing time.

Incredible expirience
Everything was just perfect. The staff at Mary boat is amazing. They are very professional. They are very concerned about safety in the dives. The boat have all the facilities to reach the diving points. They choose the best place to dive and during the night they choose safety places to anchor the boat to have a good sleep experience. The chef made this trip an memorably experience. He did so many wonderful and tasty food that I will miss him a lot. I really recomend to choose this boat and the itinerary in Raja Ampat.

Friendly staff and wonderful experience!
it was definitely one of the best liveaboard experiences I have ever had so far. We saw sharks, small stuff, manta and knew many new species. Despite the weather was not that good sometimes, the staff managed to keep us safe and sound and provide excellent service in storm. We enjoyed every dive especially in Balak Island, where we saw manta out of blue, without having to fight against strong current. The dive master joked that we could name that dive site since it is a new discovery for them as well.

非常美好意外的旅程
在结束一次潜水准备上到小船时候我的脚蹼掉了，潜导以非常惊人的速度迅速下潜帮我取了回来。我是说那种速度下潜感觉会有些危险同样也展示了他超凡的技术。遇到一群温暖、热情、有趣的人还有船长可爱的儿子。
