Comprehensive approach to deliver a good and also safe experience for the guests from pickup from hotel to drop off at airport
Cathedral Cave dive, variety of dives, nice mix with welcome drink, BBQ on the beach, land excursions, sight seeing and cocktail reception towards the end. What was a nice touch was the dedicated tunes for wake up, dive briefing, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The whole organization works like clockwork.

Awesome Trip to Tubbataha with Solitude One
The boat is fantastic, very spacious and offers all a diver heart is looking for. A professional crew provides first class service, pampers you and reads every wish from your eyes. We got 5 meals a day, which was delicious and also the cabin was excellent. Last but not least, the Diving was great. Conclusion: the best LiveAboard Trip we had and we sure come back for an other tour with Solitude One

Wonderful experience
Palau is such a special place - beautiful and varied dive sites, abundant sea life and great visibility - there wasn't one dive that I didn't love. I arrived in Koror a few days before the boat departed...in my anxiousness to get in the water, I did a few dives with a shore operator. While the dives I did from shore were very good, having more direct access to the dive sites without an hour + skiff ride each way (and the ability to do night dives) made me so glad that I spent the majority of my time on a liveaboard - and I can't imagine a better operator to have gone with. In short - if you plan to dive with Solitude One, prepare to be spoiled. The staff are all not only service-focused and experts at what they do, but overall awesome people and make you feel at home from the minute you step onboard. The food is outstanding (and you will never go hungry), the boat clean and comfortable with lots of extra space to spread out if you want time to yourself (find the hammocks on the sundeck!). Every detail is seen to - from gear being perfectly cleaned and set up for you before each dive, to a smiling face waiting for you with hot (or cold) towels when you return afterwards...this is pampering at it's best. I can't recommend Solitude One enough and look forward to diving with them again in the future!

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.

A top class alternative to the Palau Siren which was out of commission at this time
This was an alternative to Palau Siren which had run aground a few months earlier.and was still unavailable.Whilst very different in its layout the facilities and staff were of a very high standard.If offered a free place on one or the other I would be hard pressed to choose.
