It was an unforgettable experience for both diving and landing on several islands.
Amazing diving in Komodo aboard the Mermaid II. Diving was everything you could ask for and more. The dive guides were attentive, knowledgable and able to find incredible life on our dives while prioritizing everyone's safety. Easily the most comfortable boat I've ever been on including comforts such as a clean towel after every dive and hot chocolate after returning from night dives. The cruise director Luca went above and beyond to ensure an amazing experience for all on board. We had an amazing group on board and made several great friends. Hoping to return soon for another trip on the Mermaid II!

The highlights were of course the spots with the big things like manta rays and whale sharks, but the complete underwater world and coral diversity is a highlight, the reefs are healthy and very well maintained and the dive boats do everything they can to keep it that way

The boat was very nicely maintained for its age and ultimately well organized. The number of dive guides, so that there was optimal support in small groups. The organization of the dive sites and the coordination of the groups.

Amazing trip to Komodo! World-class dive sites, and made all the better by the Mermaid II crew. Was amazing having a marine biologist on board to explain things as well. Food was delicious, rooms were clean and comfortable, and the boat was spacious.
Service was second to none, absolutely no stress about equipment, just eat, sleep, dive, repeat.

Fantastic team spirit
See above. The diversity and superabundance of the fish and coral life is beyond description. We were lucky to have lots of sunshine and calm seas too, though there were strong currents in some places - the full moon rising as we got ready for our night dives was an awesome sight. The great synergy between the all the guests and the crew on this trip also made this a very memorable trip for us. Keep up the great teamwork!! We'll be back!

The camaraderie and genuine passion of the whole crew for what they do resulted in such a fun-and-laughter-filled and thoroughly enjoyable trip both underwater and on land. Every space on the boat was well-utilised and carefully thought-out in design. Divers' safety and well-being were prioritised. Many repeat guests on board testify to the excellent service.

Loved the trip, but I had difficulty on the tougher current dives, mainly due my age to push through the currents to hook on points. The natural beauty of the areas we travelled through were a real highlight together with the gorgeous sunsets.

Best dive experience ever.
The crew went above , and beyond to make the trip a special experience for all the quests. The food was excellent. The dive briefings were very thorough, and each dive was a different exploratory treat. I would especially like to thank Montse, the director, and Nico, our dive master. There are others that deserve praise as well, but I mention these two because of the most direct contact. We put this trip at the the top of our bucket list., it exceeded our expectations. Life long memories that will never fade. This was Raja Ampat. Our next trip will include Komoto.

A stunning introduction to Liveaboards and the Coral Triangle
Almost too many to mention , so many firsts!! Dropping into shotgun and the cauldron as a hegative entry yhen flying through and hanging on to watch a Manta show you how to deal with current! Dropping into turtle city at dusk to find too msny turtles to count, just chilling on the bottom then night dives with octopi , pegasus fish, frogfish and soooo many more. Finally the escort of dolphins as we headed back to Bali. Even the seasoned liveaboarders were impressed! Thankyou Ulrich and the crew for a fantastic time.

Amazing trip
This was our first liveaboard experience and we can not wait until the next. Mermaid 2 will be hard to beat. Our dive master, Bram, was the best. He always found wonderful creatures and created awe inspiring experiences (the manta cleaning station, and the sea snake viewing). Our cruise director, Luca, was great and ran a smooth trip. He even arranged for us to visit a tiny village and meet some of the locals. We made lifelong memories and friends on this trip.
