No manta ,no whale shark, but enjoy
The weather is not good, but I enjoyed my diving.I think Air Queen provides quality service. And it's affordable. I think I'll patronize the ship next time.

We really appreciated that the crew staff aloud us to do all the diving excursions taking care of eight months daughter. They were friendly, reliable and very helpful. Something to improve is the boat that although is comfortable it needs some renovation 😃

Wonderful experience, I hope to do it again some day...
The nightdive with then sharks and rays; the bbq on the eiland, diving around South Ari Atoll; the manta ray coming in the evening to our boat; the amazing crew, who was always ready to fullfill any wishes; diving in the currents and seeing lots of sharks...and much more. The price made it possible for me to join; it is about the maximum I can afford...
