Superior experience with great people
My personal highlight was actually the crew. Everyone always had a smile on their faces and everyone did an outstanding job. The chef Chanaka was just amazing. For this reason alone, the trip on the Virgo is worth it. The guides were also great and always professionally ensured that the group was safe on the one hand and a lot of fun on the other.

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

Shark mania
Very satisfied of what we see during the trip, tiger shark, bull shark, silver tip shark, whaleshark and hundreds of reef sharks! Big shout out to our lovely dive guide Maria! so considerate of each person's feelings, and so professional underwater as well. Making the diving each more enjoyable. The boat itself is very clean, well organized, very cautious of safety. The little inconvenience is the check out time, everyone needs to disembark at 7am from the boat, while our flight is 2:20pm, which means we have to wait at the open area lobby of the airport without aircon for a very long time. So do well plan your flight time base on the disembark time.
