Great boat, great staff, good food
Terrific coral and macro life in Raja Ampat, also some mantas. Beer on board was affordable. Food was good, better than expected. Staff is very friendly and all seem happy to be working on the boat. Dive layout for the boat is fantastic. Loved the diving, except for the muck dives

The exceptional teamwork of the crew, together with the diversity of diving from the muck dives in Lembeh to the pelagics of Tifore and the excitement of Raja Ampat made this trip A1.
Muck diving in Lembeh. Dani's first marlin! Oceanic mantas and Gin o' Clock with Mike and Paivy!

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.

Great trip to a fantastic location with a great crew
This was my first liveaboard experience since 1990 and it was an amazing trip. The level of service by the crew, both for the diving operation and for the overall comfort of the passengers was great. The crew was extraordinarily friendly and helpful, the food was good and plentiful, Cabins were comfortable and clean, dive briefings were very good and helpful (as an instructor I have a certain professional appreciation for this) and the dive operation was great. As an example, the oxygen percentage of the nitrox varied minimally (between 32.1 and 32.5). The dive sites were spectacular, more so in the Missool area than in the north and the amount of wildlife we saw was the best I have ever seen. I would do the trip on the Mermaid again in a heartbeat.
