Fabulous trip, highly recommend the crew

Marco & Valter run a tight professional ship, very well organised. They make all feel very welcome. We love how excited they get about their mama's pasta:) The focus was on the best dive spots and diving, which was perfect for completing our AOW.

Una settimana fantastica

Non saprei decidere tra l'avvistamento dello squalo balena, le mante e il diving notturno con gli squali...

Recommended for
In una settimana si vedono molti siti di immersione, atolli e isole diverse. Il cibo è buonissimo, degno di un ristorante a 5 stelle e, la cosa più importante, le guide subacquee sono preparate e competenti in ogni momento.
