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.

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.

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!

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.

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 💓
