Wonderful experience with Emperor Explorer

We were on our first dive by 6:30 a.m each morning. The staff was amazing and every detail was cared for to make a smooth 4 dives during our day.

Good re-entry into diving post-covid

I had some trouble on this trip - a bit of a mental block. But the dive guides helped me work through it. It could have gone very badly and instead I was able to overcome my issues and enjoy diving. That wouldn't happen on every boat. Also, I went for mantas and saw them. I never had so many of them get so close to me before.
