The trip was very well organized and perfect, only the ship is already in need of renovation!
I liked the trip very much, because it is not so crowded yet!The highlight was the sighting of a irrigation channel!

Halmahera - Macro Paradise for Photographers!
Fantastic trip. Lots of macro critters to photograph. Our dive guide found so many pygmy seahorses I lost count. Seas were rough but captain and crew did a great job to manage the situation. Highly recommend this boat and crew!

Wonderful trip
Wonderful reefs and countless fish. We sailed and dived practically alone for 12 days in these seas.I want to emphasize that 5 months ago I ruptured my Achilles tendon diving in Cozumel, but despite this and thanks to the help of the KLM SUNSHINE crew I was able to dive comfortably these 12 days.

Great in parts
So the bad points first. Sunshine is badly in need of a refit and some money spending on it. The bathrooms are in dire need of an upgrade and there is a real need to replace the drinks fridge. Nothing ever gets cold. Kasan is an amazing chef producing excellent food but again the kitchen needs money spending on it. A bit of new equipment and a good refurb is badly needed. Lastly they really should provide wine & other options for those who don’t drink beer. So the good - the crew and guides were amazing and totally made the experience memorable. Yustus was fantastic as were, Opel and Kasan !! Thank you so much !!!! The diving was great and overall the positive outweighs the negatives however the owner does need to invest in the boat - they’ve got a fantastic crew but this will count for nothing if the facilities decline.

Good diving and Guides
I enjoyed my time on Sunshine and I found the dive guides to be good although we ended up spending more time in Lembeh Strait than we anticipated because the weather to the south pushed us back into the calm waters of the strait. The crew on board were good--as was the food. The only issue I had was that I was assigned to a bed that was far too small (okay if you are under 5' tall maybe), but I chose to sleep on deck some nights and was allowed to sleep in other's bed when they slept on deck. If you are a solo traveler and book the lower cabins you might want to check and make sure you have not been assigned the the "emergency" bed. Other than that I would happily recommend the Sunshine.
