A Truly Memorable Liveaboard Adventure
This was a fantastic first liveaboard experience, and I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to liveaboard diving. The dive team was engaging, attentive, highly qualified, and consistently went above and beyond to ensure everyone's comfort and safety. The entire crew shared the same positive attitude—from helping us gear up and assisting us in and out of the water, to the captain, dinghy crew, and deckhands always greeting everyone with smiles and a willingness to help. Their professionalism and enthusiasm really stood out throughout the trip. The food was excellent, with a great variety at every meal. There was always plenty to eat and drink, and the quality and selection remained impressive throughout the week. The land excursion to visit the local villages and explore the national park was a fun addition that complemented the diving nicely. For a liveaboard lasting over a week, the boat was comfortable and well suited to spending extended time onboard. The itinerary was well paced, with a great balance between diving, relaxing, and other activities. One experience that really demonstrated the crew's dedication happened when my dive computer malfunctioned at the very beginning of the trip. My dive guide, Mimi, took the time to replace the battery in an attempt to get it working again. Although that didn't solve the problem, the crew was able to rent me a dive computer onboard, allowing me to complete every dive without any disruption. I really appreciated how quickly and proactively they worked to solve the issue and make sure I didn't miss out. Overall, this was an outstanding liveaboard experience with excellent service, a professional and caring crew, great diving, delicious food, and exceptional value for money. I would happily recommend this liveaboard to anyone looking for a safe, enjoyable, and well-run diving adventure, and I wouldn't hesitate to join them again.

Mermaid I solid dive Liveaboard to go with!
Verry clean boat! Had a conscientious trip leader who always coordinated with other boats dive schedule at sites. Definitely appreciated the long 70+ min dive times. Schedule had only one night dive but would be neat to see coral spawning. very clean boat conscientious trip leader coordination to avoid other dive boats at sites appreciated long 70+ min dive times. Only one night dive but would have been neat to see coral spawning. Smaller dive deck, but split groups to prepare, four guests to a guide. Food variety better than most liveaboards, had starlink limit to 3 gb great! Banda fort visit was cool.

Mermaid 1 for lots of fun!
Knock, knock...”morning! dive briefing” shouts sweet divemaster Rebecca at our cabin door. We eagerly assemble for continental breakfast & PowerPoint presentation of our next dive site. Cruise director, Joss, talks about what we might see on this dive...no promises, but wow Raja Ampat delivers! Giant mantas, crocodile fish, walking shark, swirling schools of barracuda, massive bumphead parrotfish & striped sweetlips, crazy changing-color cuttlefish, turtles, octopus, wobbegong sharks and much more! We’re on the safety stop of the 1st dive of the day, my computer says it’s only 8:15a and a full breakfast will be ready after a hot shower on deck. If your hair is dry...it’s time to dive, if your hair is wet...it’s time to eat & repeat. The night dives were full of action & our divemaster, Imam, was skilled at finding the unusual critters! Returning to the boat, stewardess, Destry, serves us hot chocolate with a smile. We had 29 amazing dives on our nine night cruise. The helpful Mermaid crew is upbeat, professional & the small ship is very comfortable. Master cabin was worth the upgrade, but deluxe cabins looked fine too. Fun excursion to lookout point to view several islands was worth the climb. We highly recommend the Mermaid 1 ship and look forward to another liveaboard trip with them.
