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 felt very comfortable and welcome during the week on the Mermaid II. The crew was super nice and helpful, we could learn a lot from our guide underwater (especially when it comes to macro finding and photography) and the atmosphere on the ship was very good (the live music in the afternoon from the crew was great :)). Great nice people, funny conversations and delicious food, what more could you want. The ship was kept very clean, the equipment was perfectly prepared and always looked after. All in all, a successful trip. Thank you for that!

Superb Dream Dive Sojourn in Raja Ampat
Second Superb dream dive sojourn in Raja Ampat on Mermaid 2 🧜🏼‍♀️Absolutely INCREDIBLE DMs & ship crew. Very delicious food, great Itinerary & rental gear. Raja Ampat is a dream dive destination full of natural beauty. Needs our protection & preservation as a Unesco World Heritage Site. Extremely grateful & thankful for all the work that goes on behind the scenes to make it possible to dive into this extraordinary region of intense biodiversity. Highlights of trip were the gorgeous Pinnacle Dives, Marine Critters & sightings of Omura Whales :)

Beautiful Raja Amput
Manta, Wobbegong Shark, walking shark, pygmy seahorses, many types of Nudi. Ble water mangroves and archer fish. Visibility is variable due to weather. Service and food is excellent. Dive masters are great. Clear and consistent communication. Range of nationalities as guests. Safety conscious. If you are a less experienced diver like me, ensure you leave room in your budget for hiring a dive computer and Nitrox and or Nitrox course. Hire equipment is excellent but not cheap. Definitely bring your own if you can. Also a dive torch. They will definitely look after you.

A delightful trip of a life time.
The Mermaid 2 and her crew were an absolute delight. From delicious and plentiful food to comfortable cabins to an amazing massage, I felt well taken care of and pampered the whole time. The dive sites were great - from giant whale sharks and dancing mantas to adorable cuddle fish, bobtail squid, and baby octopus, we were treated to some seriously epic diving. The staff was warm and funny and made the trip very enjoyable. Our guide Bram was amazing, finding and pointing out a ton of cool tiny things. Luca kept us laughing (and guessing, his joking sarcasm rivals my own) and well informed. Desi may be the star though; incredibly sweet, attentive, warm, and she gives really amazing massages. No trip is perfect and there were a few hiccups, mostly of my own making (I leaned an important lesson about slowing down and double checking gear after flooding my camera), but this trip was pretty close. Not only that but all the other passengers were delightful! Swiss, German, English, American, Canadian, Belgian...a nice international mix of really great humans. Be careful playing Monopoly with Bob though, he looks innocent but he's really a shark!

Outstanding diving paired with exceptional service and professionalism from Mermaid. Highly recommended!
I can't recommend Mermaid II highly enough. My wife and I enjoyed the seven- night cruise immensely. The stuff we're engaging, highly professional, and very the knowledgeable as each of the pre-dive briefings demonstrate. The diving is exceptional and the cruise itself is an incredibly well run operation. Many thanks to Luca, Anna, Desi, Ketut, Bram, Allo, Ilham, and the rest of the crew for giving us and unforgettable experience.

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.

Sarita was a fabulous Cruise Director ,very easy to understand with all the dive briefing every day . and very helpful with any questions. The Mermaids liveaboard managed to find many dive sites that where not crowded with other Liveaboard's and day trip boats . The Komodo Island trip will not disappoint !
