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...

- 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.
Phantastisch!!! Ich komme wieder , nächstes Jahr :)
Es war vom Anfang bis zum Ende der wohl schönste Urlaub meines Lebens, und ich werde nie mehr in einem Hotel Urlaub machen,,, ich habe diese Art Urlaub zu machen ,,, auf einem Tauchboot ,,,, für mich entdeckt und habe auch schon der Crew gesagt das ich nächstes Jahr wieder mit ihnen meinen Urlaub plane.
