Amazing diving in comfort on Solitude 1
Super friendly crew, amazing service. Diving was safe and exciting, the Philippines itinerary really went beyond my expectations, the reefs were so lush and the dives were diverse, from walls to muck to the threshers. It was my second time on the solitude one and I’m looking forward to a third trip.

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.

Such amazing people running this boat.
Comfortable room, happy, helpful, positive people running the entire operation. I loved that I could ask anyone about something and they would find the answer for me.

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!

The boat was relaxing and the diving was excellent.
Every single dive was excellent, but for me Blue Corner, German Channel, and Ulong Channel stood above the rest. How the crew organized the whole trip made everything so easy and relaxing from our wake up call to the dive briefings to gearing up to eating. And the food was, to say the least, excellent! Every meal exceeded all my expectations.
