Fantastic and Demanding Itinerary

Fantastic liveaboard with 40 dives in 13 days at amazing sites - INTENSEThe crew and dive guides take great care of our comfort and to offer the best diving options - with the usual hazardsLots of sharks (reefs, greys, silver tips, spinners, nurses and tigers)2 sites where we met manta and many eagle rays on several sitesUnfortunately 2 dives in the Blue hoping to meet hammerheads but without success, nor whale shark

Recommended for
The comfort offered by the Emperor team by allowing you to be alone in the cabin. The professionalism of the crew and dive guides and their knowledge of the sites. The route optimized for pelagic dives.
