Epic voyage!
We were taken care of extremely well during our 10 day trip! Food was varied, healthy and plentiful, very competent staff, the boat is in top shape and our dive guide Idy was always busy showing us all the critters of Komodo.

Whale sharks and Mantas. Tiny critters on night dives. Putu and Lyn, the stewards.

Highly recommended Komodo trip in June-July
I did a "Bali-Komodo-Bali" liveaboard with Mermaid I from 23rd June to 2nd July and it was great. The staff looks after you with maximum care: they provide fresh towels after every dive, they offer drinks after every dive, they clean your suit after every dive, they measure the Nitrox for you, they clean the rooms every day, they serve you in the restaurant. The boat is kept nice and clean, the food is good quality and quantity. In terms of dives: we saw the whales sharks in the Saleh Bay, mantas in South Komodo, some reef sharks, one eagle ray and plenty of beautiful corals. There are a lot of dives dedicated to "macro" marine life and be ready to have fun with some drift dives also. In summary: Komodo will offer literally a bit of everything that a diver can wish.

Awesome crew with AMAZING diving.
The highlight of the trip was 3 divers, including myself, spending 20 minutes within touching distance with an enormous Oceanic Manta Ray on my birthday. Amazing, awesome and incredible don't even begin accurately describe the feelings you get when you are in the presence of such a beautiful creature.

Diving in Raja Ampat is rated #1 in the world for a reason. The crew on the Mermaid treated us like family and the great food was never ending.
