Amazing Trip
There was just so much to see on this trip! Diving had a great mix of small to large things to see, beautiful coral, nudis, fish, and mantas. The staff was phenomenal, so friendly and helpful. The food was great. The dive masters were awesome. And of course Komodo dragons and all the beautiful views of Komodo!

Our first liveaboard and we are already planning to come back!
Mermaid II was in impeccable condition and clearly exceptionally well maintained. The crew seemed to work constantly—and always cheerfully—to keep everything pristine. The staff-to-diver ratio was an incredible 1:1, and the level of service and attention was unlike anything I’ve experienced on a liveaboard. The diving operation was the safest I have ever seen. Two crew members assisted each diver getting on and off the dinghies, safety checks were thorough, and additional guides were provided whenever needed. The dive limits were appropriately conservative, but also flexible: divers who used their air efficiently could buddy up with another group rather than having their dives shortened because someone else was low on air. I really appreciated that approach. Bram was a fantastic guide who happily indulged our love of underwater photography and video, giving us time when we found nudibranchs or encountered octopuses, sea snakes, and other fascinating marine life. He has an exceptional eye for spotting tiny or well-camouflaged treasures, including pygmy seahorses, harlequin ghost pipefish, and leaf-sheep nudibranchs. His skill and patience added enormously to our experience. The food was healthy, varied, and delicious. Allergies and dietary restrictions were carefully accommodated, and the gluten-free options were especially tasty—thank you, Bruno, Alan, Desi, and Ilham! Fresh fruit was always available, and we had fresh, clean vegetables every day, along with plenty of choices at every meal. Luca and Elsa set such a positive tone. Everyone was treated with respect, patience, and good humor. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun, yet the crew’s efficiency and teamwork kept everything running smoothly and on schedule. I don’t think I ever got into or out of my gear without someone immediately offering cheerful assistance. We were all incredibly impressed by the way the entire crew worked together. Mermaid II delivers an exceptional combination of safety, professionalism, warmth, and fun. I would enthusiastically recommend this boat and crew.

Top notch service in the best diving destination
The crew members and dive masters were super friendly and professional. All dive masters try to show the best of Raja Ampat to divers all the time (e.g. pigmy seahorse). The food and dessert was delicious and abundant as well. Very nice air conditioned cabins and salon.

Best I’ve done.
From the moment we stepped on board to the moment we stepped off, the crew were all completely focussed on making the trip one to remember. The standard of professionalism, attention to detail, subject matter knowledge, helpfulness, patience and ‘sense of humour’ were consistent both on the boat and in the water. What was also impressive was the passing of information and that everyone knew what was happening and when. The safety of diving in and out of the water was at a very high standard. It was a confidence builder for the less experienced divers who could see they were in safe hands. This is the first Liveaboard trip that I have said I would come back and do again. Of the 15+ trips I’ve done over the years on liveaboards, this was the best I’ve been on. Well done Luca, Daria, Ketut and Desi and all the rest of the crew. Brilliant.

Amazing diving and fun liveaboard - worth it!
Happy to see healthy vibrant reefs, saw everything from large pelagics like manta rays to tiny little creatures during muck dives; we lucked out with the weather and saw beautiful sunsets and starry nights; the crew was so friendly and helpful, they definitely added a lot to the overall experience; also lucked out and made some new diving buddies aboard! All in all an amazing liveaboard experience I'd recommend!

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.
