Great liveaboard experience and diving trips
The first liveaboard diving experience was very good, although I didn't see whale sharks, but under the guidance of the guide, I still saw a lot of marine life, there were schools of nurse sharks, turtles, mantles, lionfish, etc., and I also felt the conscientious attitude of the staff on board, and the friendly smile of the guests, and was included in the list of friends who would recommend it in the future

The divetrip was awesome.
We saw 6 mantas in just one dive,more than 10 nurse shark in night dive.At some dive sites the water was very clear we saw eagle rays flying around and groups of yellow fin fishes.We also saw several turtles some octopus and lobsters. The temperature is always 28 degree and the current is medium,you will have a lot of fun. The food onboard was good and you will have 5 meals per day. After all the trip was awesome and it's value for money.
