Very Good cheerful hard-working crew. Good service. Reliable schedules, food, accomodations.

General experience with accomodation and dive service was very good. The boat is a little old- occasionally spews greasy engine exhaust junk across top deck (occasional dirty feet and deck power washing). Dive profiles are not my favorite but no big complaint- largely split between playing with sea lions at 15', maybe 4 (standard govt-planted) wrecks at 40-60', and transition along the 60-80' bottom to look into blue deepwater for big creatures. Our group got glimpses of a few distant hammerheads and a few distant manta rays. A liittle much for me all the shallow playing with sea lions and deep water staring into the blue for my taste but there is alot of good fish and coral life to see along the way. The group seemed pretty happy overall with the dives. One afternoon we got aerial guidance and went to Orcas- from RHIBs we were dropped into them a few times for a momentary swim as they went by- it was brief but exciting closeup look,

A must do trip for divers!

Even though the water was a bit chilly this liveaboard was a trip that I’d definitely want to do again and again. The crew worked together so well. It was like we were all a family by the end of the week. The food was delicious. The mantas and the sharks and the dolphins were incredible. At times I wondered if it was all real. The hot tub on top is a nice treat.

Amazing dolphin encounters

PRO: amazing wildlife sightings and interactions, mantas on every dive. Interacting with the dolphins are what dreams are made of! Saw school of hammerhead sharks. Amazing crew (Idris, Alicia). Most dive guides were attentive and excited to point out wildlife. Hot tub was a plus after cold dives CON: older boat, something was always broken (hydraulics for the anchor, clogged toilets, broken ice maker and water dispense), 9 crew for 18 ppl so no one was helping us put our gear on, first liveaboard that didn't clean your room daily even when we had ppl who got sick with norovirus on the trip, food was average
