Team of Professionals

My wife is still is a beginner. Though she's got the certificates, but it's still difficult for her to go to the depth very quickly. The team arranged for her private dive-gude, so sche could enjoy mantas. Places where our boat stayed overnight vere very beautifullm especially sunsets.

Recommended for: Diving wiyh mantas. Visit to Komodo dragons. Turtles and nudies.

An excellent trip which I really enjoyed

This was the best dive guiding that I have ever experienced in all my time diving. We were a group of very mixed diving ability and the way this was handled was excellent. The crew were all so friendly and there was a great atmosphere on the boat. It just shows you do not have to spend a lot of money to have a great experience. I also enjoyed all the other activities that were offered apart from the diving. The beach visits and sunset trips were excellent.

Recommended for: The crew and guides were all really friendly and helpful, the food was good and the diving excellent

Fantastic diving experience!

Crews were very helpful and friendly Instructor/ DM were experience and professional Very detailed dive briefing and great drawing on dive site Occasional power trip and intermittent of water supply for bathing and flushing. (no big issue) After the last dive of the trip, there was a low lever supply of water that pump could not pump up to the shower head and crews were very helpful in delivering pails of water to us. Definitely worth recommending!

Recommended for: 1. Professional Instructor/DM in assigning us to group according to dive experience, 2. Eyes for MACRO object, 3. Boat crews were very friendly and helpful

A lifetime memory

We saw many Mantas, sharks , turtles, even Dugong!! Me and the cozy bean bags became very close friends since the first day. Usually i get sea sickness easily but this time I didn't take any medicine. The wave wasn't too high and wind wasn't strong either.

Recommended for: Very friendly crew, excellent diving sites, cozy bean bags

Absolutely exceeded all expectations!

Dive sites were incredible! Komodo national park definitely lives up to its name. My guide, Phil, was professional and knowledgeable and always enthusiastic about the upcoming dive. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful and the boat was clean and so comfortable. The staff were so friendly and smiling. Super happy I went, thank you:)

Overall a

Once we got past some of the ‘starter’ dives, the dives were exceptional with lots of beautiful corral and sea life of all sizes. The boat was adequate, but surprisingly run down for only being 1 year old. There was very little shade on the boat which made it tough between dives, I understand a canopy was blown off in a storm, but it covered an eating area right near the scuba equipment where you don’t really see anything because of the hanging wetsuits, etc. the gerator is located on top of the boat, on the sun deck and doesn’t allow for a peaceful evening, especially one evening when it broke and they spent a lot time fixing it so we had the repair noise, lights (made it hard to star gaze) and the smell of gas all evening. It shuts off about 9-10, but then no a/c for the rest of the night. The a/c didn’t work in most rooms anyway. Most people slept on the deck because the rooms are too hot. The food was very good, but there was too much of it was fried. Enough complaining. The crew and dive guides were great, they knew exactly where to go, kept us safe and showed us everything from pigmy sea horses to mantas and sharks. I will recommend this boat to my friends, especially if they put in some port maintenace. It was definitely adequate for what I wanted to do, dive Komodo for a reasonable price.

Recommended for: The guides, Lu and Gabon were great, the diving was excellent, the other guest were great to spend 5 days with.
