- The crew were fantastic, super friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, the best on any liveaboard I have done. The diving was really good, well guided, safe and enjoyable.
Diving guides are so good, saw sharks and rays almost every dive.
My trip was Dec 03, 2017 to Dec 10, 2017. During these 7 days, I felt amazed for the marine life. Our diving guides, Hampek and Yaan, were very professional for the local diving route. They were aware of which points have more chance to see sharks, sting rays, and manta rays, and it really worked. This time, most of my diving partners came from Germany. We had a good time enjoying seafari. Every night we laid on board, sharing previous experience and suggestions. Maybe in the feature, if I plan to visit Maldives again, I would take a deep south seafari route or stay on some specific islands. This was an amazing trip !!! Shang Wang
