Amazing food

Great value for money. Great food. Diving was fantastic following a sublet itinerary as every other live aboard. A couple of things to mention. They use steel tanks which are heavy if you're used to Aluminium. They use 28% nitrox, which is fine but I would rather more. We often got close to our NDC limits.

Tolles Tauchboot mit gutem Essen und erfahrenen Guides

Wir hatten auf dieser Reise wirklich alles gesehen. Mantas, Wahlhaie, Hammerhaie und jede Menge anderer tolle Unterwasserlebewesen :-) Die Guides sind sehr bemüht, jeden alles recht zu machen. Führung ist in italienischer „Hand“. Dementsprechend gutes, italienisches Essen :-)
