The Best Liveaboard Experience: Five Stars is an Understatement
From the moment we stepped aboard until our reluctant departure, our liveaboard trip was, quite simply, the best dive vacation we have ever taken. This is more than a dive boat; it’s a floating haven where luxury, world-class diving, and impeccable service converge. If you are looking for the ultimate adventure delivered with genuine warmth and attention to detail, book this trip immediately. World-Class Encounters Under the Waves: The diving was nothing short of extraordinary. The crew consistently put us on world-class sites, delivering the kind of marine life encounters that most divers only dream of. Every single dive felt like a page out of a documentary. We were spoiled with multiple, up-close encounters with majestic manta rays, breathtaking sightings of a whale shark, and exhilarating dives surrounded by various species of sharks and dozens of graceful eagle rays. Combined with the stunning health of the reefs—vibrant, beautiful, and teeming with life—it was a truly unforgettable underwater spectacle. Service, Comfort, and Those Perfect Details: The professionalism and friendliness of the crew were outstanding. They managed to be highly professional and safety-conscious while making us feel like family. Beyond the diving, the ship itself felt like a boutique hotel. Our cabins were spacious and incredibly comfortable, providing the perfect retreat after a long day of diving. But it was the little details that elevated the experience into pure luxury. From the beautifully set dining tables at every meal to the charming whaleshark drawn in the foam of our morning cappuccino, the crew's dedication to guest happiness shone through in every interaction. A Culinary Revelation for Vegans: As vegans, dining on a liveaboard can often be challenging, but the kitchen staff here delivered an absolutely fabulous culinary experience. They made the biggest effort to ensure we had varied, delicious, and exciting food for every single meal. We didn't just get a side salad; we were treated to creative, flavorful dishes that rivaled top-tier restaurants. Their dedication went far beyond expectation, making the food a true highlight of the entire trip. Final Verdict: This liveaboard sets the gold standard for dive travel. Incredible diving, spotless accommodations, and a crew that executes every detail with passion and grace. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough. Thank you for the trip of a lifetime!

Diving in a lap of luxury!
Loved it!! The diving was amazing and crew were so helpful. The Dhoni made it really easy to set out gear and get ready. The food was fabulous. I loved the massage that I could sneak it. Incredible sunsets. My husband, who doesnt dive, joined me to snorkel. He enjoyed being taken to isolated islands for nice lovely snorkels everyday. It was the ultimate in luxury and fun diving!!!

Floating 5-star hotel
The boat was like a true 5-star hotel on water. Excellent food of high quality with great selection and variety. Special events like BBQ on the beach and sunset cocktail on a deserted island was great add-ons to an already packed and exciting program. The dive crew was great and delivered spectacular dives. I would recommend to go in Dec-Mar, where you have higher visibility in the water and better weather.
