Can’t say enough good things
The crew on Solitude One really made the experience exceptional. The dive masters are excellent, and know the dive sites very well. Our dive master was incredible at finding tiny things we would never have seen without him. We had some of our favorite dives of all time on our trip. The crew working on the dive deck was wonderful as well - just so helpful, and we loved the hot or cold towels when we got back from a dive, and the hot chocolate after a night dive. Everyone was just so friendly and lively. Just a lot of good vibes. Food was varied and plentiful and tasty - we especially enjoyed some of the baked snacks, all made fresh! We enjoyed reading the reference books and making tea / coffee in the lounge, as well as sunning out on the deck between dives. The rooms were comfortable and kept very clean. Highly recommend Solitude One!

Excellent trip - diving was great and crew was very attentive!
Parrot fish spawning several days before the new moon. Blue Corner did not disappoint. Lots of sharks. Mantas at German channel. Cleaning stations galore for all types and species of fish. Remarkably healthy reefs. Boat was spacious and well accommodated. Cruise directors paid extreme attention to detail right down to the bbq on the beach the last night. Diving was so much better from the Liveaboard than from land (I did both). Much easier, much shorter commutes to dive sites (shaving off >45 min at times), more attentive dive guides, and importantly more relaxing dives. Large diversity of dives - corners, walls/drop offs, channels, shallow and deep dives, spectacular caves/swim throughs, wrecks and even bump head parrot fish spawning before the new moon!

Great diving from a large ship
Everything went according to plan. Of a maximum of 22 divers, there were only 14 of us. We had lots of room on the anyway spacious vessel. The cruise is very well organized, the dive guides are helpful and knowledgable. There are two dive boats (called "skiffs"), your gear stays on these boats all the time, and all dives are done from these boats. The cruise was around full moon, and we were lucky to witness the red snapper spawning, as well as mantas at cleaning stations, and feeding. Many, many sharks around, even bull sharks and hammerheads. Plus a lot of turtles. On one night, there is a BBQ (already prepared by the crew beforehand) on the beach of Ulong Island (you are there less than 2 hours, which is a bit short). On the last day, there is a visit to Jellyfish lake (snorkling only). Everything is included, except alcohol ($3 can of beer, $30 bottle of wine). Remember that you have to pay additional $210 for permits/fees and $135 for Nitrox (which everybody used) on board.
