The best trip ever!
This was truly the trip of a lifetime. The boat was stunning and the accommodations were very comfortable. We adored the hospitality by everyone, especially Jim and Mahedi. I loved every second of diving and the dive guides made me feel safe and well looked after. The dance party, the dinner under the stars, the sandbar coctails and the sandbar dinner really stood out. I would have stayed on the boat another week if I had known how wonderful it would be. We are already planning our next ScubaSpa adventure.

Best overall live aboard.
Certainly the biggest and most luxurious live aboard I have ever been (and I have been on 13 live aboards). Best selection of food for all 3 meals— even lobster was available for an extra cost. My vegetarian partner has no problems filling her plates. Rather expensive spa treatments, but the facilities and services were second to none. Diving dhoni was well equipped— loaned me a BC when my SSI octopus free flowed. Full selection of O-rings when my high pressure o-ring failed. Compressors on dhoni so the same tank was refilled for each dive. Had a 100 cu ft tank for me. Nitrox was $105 for the whole week— for the dive package price, this really should be included. Competent dive masters from what I could see. Just be aware that there are at times ripping current on the kandu (channel) dives. Reef hook used on some dives. Didn’t see a whale shark, but one dive group saw one. No mantas, but plenty of eagle rays and mobula rays. Night dive was a madness of nurse sharks and stingrays. Coral average (I have dived Raja Ampat twice) in my opinion with no large areas of bleaching seen. Some areas have nice plate corals, sea fans and there were lots of small fish underneath overhangs. Visibility was less than average— about 50 to 75 feet. My dolphin room was quite large for a live aboard and bathroom was fine. Good laundry service. Snorkeling apparently average as visibility wasn’t the best. Overall the friendliest staff with a smile always.

First liveaboard and I'm sold
I had not done a liveaboard before but am sold - no desire to be on a large vessel again. The staff are incredible - the policy is I'm not to place names on the review but they will be remembered from those that made the dining/bar service memorable to the diving - everyone was exceptional. Highlights of the trip were seeing Manta rays and a glimpse of a whale shark (felt lucky as had not viewed the previous 5 weeks). Was slightly disappointed at the decreased visability diving the end of June but the dives were still spectacular and dive staff and equipment were top notch - I would imagine diving could be even better in the high season - but this is trade off as we had less boats/crowds I was told. The food is very good and plentiful, cocktails/bar was great, wine list is just ok if you are picky - the liquor bill does add up as additional taxes and tips are added on. In addition it took questioning several times that tip for the crew was actually included in the price paid - so it is worthwhile clarifying this if you choose this boat - I would highly recommend this boat for the vessel itself, the staff and the dive sites visited.
