Amazing!!!!!!
Unforgettable experience. The boat is very comfortable. The crew is 10 + 10 points. The dives were incredible amazing, octopus, dolphins, sharks (hammerhead, white tip, silver tip, silky, Galápagos, etc.) mantas on all dive sites, huge lobsters, among thousands of other fishes. The food is so good!!! 3 meals a day + snacks all the time. Nothing negative to say.

Had an amazing time on the Solmar V
If you you want to see Sharks, Dolphins and Manta Rays Solmar V is the boat to go to. One of the best dives was playing with Manta Rays for a whole hour! We were so impressed we have re-booked for next year!

An experience to go back again and again!
Definitely the school of hammerheads, the playfulness of the mantas, the presence of silky, white-tip, and tiger sharks. On the boat, incredible attention to each and every one of us. Top-notch!

Amazing . Everyone need to do this at least once
To see my favorite shark of all time. They are so amazing and so misunderstood. The other great part was about 2 hours out to sea the captain got a call from another boat that there was a humpback whale with a buoy and fishing line tangled around the pectoral fins. Since the boat has a panga they put it in the water with 2 of the dive masters from our boat picked up a diver from the other boat and they were able to untangle the humpback. The best show of true compassion these guys have for all of the creatures of the sea. Will be back!!

Amazing Boat and Crew!
The Solmar V is a lovely boat, it's small enough to be intimate and cosy but big enough that you always have enough space and never feel on top of other people. I've never know a crew as hardworking or friendly as the crew of the Solmar V, our Panga driver Coco was the friendliest guy you'll ever meet. The food was exceptional and they had the best selection of drinks I've had on any livaboard. The diving highlight for me was the Oceanic Manta, what a humbling experience being in the water with those gentle giants. I am already planning my return trip! Jenny, UK

Batman under water
Visability and weather wasnt the best (it seems to be a windy place), neither did we get to see the huge groups of Hammerheads. However, this was a very good trip. The boat is comfortable (we only had 17 divers, it might be a bit more of a squeeze on a full boat), the decor is almost like a cocktail bar on the waves, think of walking into “Cheers”. I had a cabin to myself, with the most comfortable bed Ive ever had on a boat. Constant hot water and drinking water through out the boat were all very welcome. I liked the amount of space on the dive deck, plenty of room to spread out. The dive guides (Diego, Ivan & Nacho) were very enthusiastic & knowledgeable of the location and how to get the best from it. These are not pretty dives, not much here in the way of colourful reef fish or macro (at least on my visit), but, that didn't matter for me. The Mantas were amazing and engaging. I particularly liked the Black Manta’s…like Batman underwater. We also had a great session snorkelling with False Killer Whales. The rest of the crew were faultless, all very helpful, enthusiastic and cheery. Service was faultless. Probably the best ive been on for a while.
