Great off-peak season diving
Great diving and a well run ship. crew was highly attentive. Even though it was off season and had a small passenger load, the crew maintained a high level of focus and service. Food was consistently good and the rooms were well maintained (and quite spacious on the top deck).

Anxious about my diving abilities at the start, I transformed into a confident diver who did not want the trip to end
Extremely satisfying overall experience & the fact that I could do all 17 dives inspire of a long gap of ten years was itself a highlight other than the wide variety of marine life that we could see
