Amazing trip!!!
Staff was very attentive to the needs of the guests ( comfort on the boat, special food request).
The food was really exceptional.
They constantly try to please the guests with great professionalism.
Dives as well as stopovers on idyllic beaches.

Amazing
This was a great dive trip and both my wife and I enjoyed diving with princess rani. The food was great, the dive masters were knowledgeable and helpful, and the facilities were better than expected. It was nice having multiple spots outside of our room to relax between dives and our room was also really comfortable too.
