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!

Epic Trip!
Every dive delivered amazing experiences and encounters thanks to Gabriel, Maria, Ali and Rich. The boat crew was friendly, entertaining and enjoyable to socialize with. Manta Ray night dive was a dream alongside encounters with variety of sharks and rays. Dive guides were most professional, safe and led a phenomenal adventure. Would dive with this boat and crew again!!
