Astonishing trip with many sharks and mantas
Very good arrangement of the whole dive trip, professional and patient briefing before every dive. Nice crew can take care every scope so that we can fully into diving. Delicious foods can help us recovery quickly after each diving. Memorable experience when night diving and attract manta with torch. Make many new friends from different countries.

An expensive cruise with garbage diving
Only the other divers on board and about 5 decent dives from 17 overall ,our dive guide was very good,but he was a junior and didn’t make the important diving decisions,like where to dive or postpone this dive because no current.So the one star for diving is only for him.

Comfortable boat, great cabin and ensuite size, great crew, lovely diving
The diving was better than I expected. The boat was spacious and the cabin and ensuite had plenty of room. Food was plentiful. The crew were fantastic-helped with everything and looked after us. The dhoti was well equipped and the ladder made getting out of the water a breeze. I will go again
