Wonderful diving trip with an experienced dive team and super hospitable crew!
I picked this itinerary as it set off and returned to Bali, which made it super easy for me to catch a direct international flight back home - from the airport it was only a 20-30 min car ride to the port where the ship was. This was a huge draw for me as the alternative would have been to do multiple flights/ transfers to fly into Labuan Bojo, which was the main airport for the Komodo Islands. The diving experience on the entire trip was superb, as to be expected for the region. The dive crew and operations on the Mermaid II were top notch - professional, experienced, safe, helpful and super friendly. I especially appreciated the super detailed and educational briefings, which not only introduced me to the geological topography areas, but also the unique marine species in the area. This is a dive-oriented liveaboard/ itinerary - with 4 dives planned each day. There was a selection of easier sites with calmer waters, but more confident/ experienced divers can better enjoy some of the best sites on the trip, which tend to have stronger currents/ drifts. There was a land excursion to see the Komodo Dragons in their natural habitat, which was quite special. I really enjoyed spending time with other fellow divers and marine life enthusiasts on the trip. We had quite a global mix of nationalities among the passengers, a good mix of younger and older adults, couples and parent-child pairings, and a few solo travellers. Cabin and common areas were clean, comfortable and well-maintained. Food menu was well curated with something for everyone, and tasty/ fresh.

- Top notch dive team and setup (eg. safety, professionalism, familiarity with the dive sites). Beautiful dive sites and marine life sightings (eg. so many whale sharks and manta rays!). Super friendly and hospitable crew.

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.

Beautiful diving and great crew.
The boat was great and the crew were attentive to each detail without it being too much. They would clean and put away our wetsuits after each dive, bring hot chocolate after the night dives etc. Diving was phenomenal, with so much diversity. Our dive guide Allo was the best, he understood what we liked and led us perfectly during the trip!

Perfect dive trip
All of the crew were amazing - really made the trip special. Tobias, Steve and Angela in particular took really good care of us. The dive sites were amazing. I have done a lot of diving in the past but never seen anything like that before. The boat was amazing - so comfortable in the rooms and communal living areas.

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.
