Great journey from Raja Ampat to Ambon
I had a wonderful trip from Raja Ampat to Ambon. The boat is really nice, the dive sites were great with a wide range of marine life and corals, and the staff members work very hard to give you an awesome time on board.

Absolutely Fabulous!
My daughter and I went on the Mermaid 1 for a 10 day trip to Komodo. Everyone involved was genuinely friendly, fun, helpful, informative, and hard working! The entire dive crew were awesome! Everyone was quick to help you with all the diving details - from getting ready (zipping wetsuits), locating gear, getting on the dingy (Helping get on and putting your fins on for you), getting into the dingy after the dive, and getting off the dingy (Unzipping, Cleaning your wetsuit and gear). The diving itself was obviously fantastic. The food was delicious! It was obvious that everyone genuinely wanted every guest to be happy and have the best time in all facets of the trip! I highly recommend!

Amazing diving experience on Mermaid 1
The dive sites were beautiful with healthy coral and reef. In south Komodo, we had a chance to witness 20 odd mantas swimmers above us. I stayed in the single cabin and it was comfortable and clean.

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.

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.
