An absolutely magical liveaboard trip
I enjoyed that trip a lot. I always felt safe - on board and underwater. The cruise director Elsa did an amazing job. Everything was super well organized. Seeing the whalsharks at Saleh Bay and visiting the dragons was my highlight.

A great all round experience
I have been on several liveaborads before but this was the best experience i have ever had. From the very beginning of the booking I received professional service which was great, When I phoned or emailed Liveabord.com my questions were answered quickly and accurately... the service from every one of the Mermaid2 team was exceptional... nothing was too much trouble and they made me feel very much welcome at at home.

We loved everything about this trip. The beautiful colours of the Yellow Wall and many other memorable dives with turtles, sharks and so many fish. Joss was a fabulous cruise director, Desi was a delight and Elham worked tirelessly.

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.

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.

Best Liveaboard Crew
We truly enjoyed our liveaboard experience with Mermaid 2. The whole crew from dive guides to cook were very friendly and helped us to enjoy every moment of it. Diving sites were great and the guides were familiar with the sites which helped us to what to expect in each site. Food was delicious with a good variety of cuisines and it was inclusive of everyone who follow certain diets.

Mermaid II Sets Very High Standards for Liveaboards
This was my first liveaboard and it could not have been done better. The trip had a lot of variety in the dive sites with so many bizarre and beautiful critters throughout, from the alien-like animals in the muck to the giant sardine tornado. A lot of the sites had so many different schools of fish that they didn't even need high ticket item sightings to make the dives memorable and amazing. Luca gave very good briefings leaving you prepared for each sight, and was also very funny and made the whole experience very fun for everyone. Ana was a very attentive and kind guide, and she made me feel as comfortable and safe as possible in confronting my first current dives. I almost got swept away but she was at my side immediately and guided me with such ease. After two current dives I felt so much more comfortable. She also asked us what we wanted to see and was able to spot everything - even though nature cannot guarantee everything! The boat divides everyone into small groups so you feel really safe and aren't overcrowded. It was great to see guides helping each other underwater to make sure each group got to see some of the most sought after sightings too. The boat was also very comfortable thanks to the crew's amazing service. They handled everything and made you feel like royalty. Everyone was super friendly.
