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.

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.

I had such an amazing time and would definitely book with Mermaid II again.
There were 17 divers on this trip and everyone got along so well!! The whole vibe of the crew and passengers was very relaxed and made for a very enjoyable trip. The food was outstanding and the dives were everything I thought they would be. Being able to swim with whale sharks was definitely a top highlight.

Conceirge EPIC diving Incredible crew very sleek ship that travels well to cover distance and get you to fantastic spots for an out of this world diving experience
Epic trip ! United failed to get my checked dive bag to my destination but Mermaid 🧜🏼♀️ made it all OK. Communication was encouraging and helpful from the GM Kay and they helped with getting me some replacement gear like booties, head hoody and fins that fit me well, before embarkation for the trip dfrom Bali at their dive shop All4Diving. They take care of their guests like family from pick up at the airport or hotels to the dive vessel and then on board its all seamlessly organized. On the Mermaid the dive deck offers concierge diving at the Stearn of the vessel. Rinse tanks for dive gear had disinfectants and camera gear rinse tanks, mask and dive computers all in their own tanks. They even have warm water showers on return from the dives this was really so nice ! Our DM Bob has been with this organization for 10 years. He was so knowledgeable, professional, warm and fun with amazing eyesight to spot all the cute critters and took such good care of our group of 4 divers. Our dinghy drivers Aan & Erwis were super efficient. The whole crew was so cool 😎 Luca our cruise director was super suave and worked tirelessly with focus and detailed attention for everybody to make our trip outstanding. Mermaid even offered us Starlink Internet connection during the sailing. We had a marvellous videographer Christopher Pen onboard with us and he made a lovely film capturing the highlights of our superlative dive week. Komodo was truly the highlight of our trip. The water was so clear, cool & so blue with Manta Magic. We were very lucky and got to dive Manta Alley without any other dive boats ! What a treat. The food was yummy and more than sufficient and I loved the coffee machine. Hats off to the Chef Bruno and sou chef Wikan. I also want to acknowledge Desy & Ilham our stewards who worked tirelessly to make our surroundings clean and presentable always providing the best presentation for the food, making the beds, cleaning our cabins etc. our captain was also very good and he runs a tight ship. Loved the whole experience would do another trip back in a heartbeat 💓

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!

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.
