Fantastic trip with great crew!
My expectations were far exceeded! The dive guides in particular have adapted very strongly to the needs of the travelers. They were approachable at all times, showed a lot of interest and commitment and made sure that I felt safe and comfortable at all times. The briefings were very informative and carefully prepared. On some evenings, additional info sessions about sharks were offered, where I could learn a lot of new things. The dive sites have also been carefully selected - I have never seen so many sharks!! The boat offers a lot of comfort and good opportunities to relax. The crew was great; Very friendly and helpful. I would come back anytime:) 100/10!

A good time
The highlight for me was getting to see reef mantas for the very first time. They're a lot bigger live than I expected, and it was really cool to get to experience that.
