It was really good.
Both the diving experience and the service that we got during our trip was perfect. I would especially like to thank the crew of the ship who helped with getting in and out of the diving and handling our diving equipment.

Fantastic Experience
Tubbataha itself is a great location where to dive especially if the boat is comfortable and the crew including dive guides are reliable. Capitan drove smoothly and between dives was able to lay on couch enjoying sunset and relaxing. Food was good, maybe need to increase the variety of dishes but all was prepared in a nice way. There was an emergency aboard and the crew reacted quickly and with knowledge and that helped a lot.

Perfect 10 Trip
Perfect 10 trip. From booking and communicating with the liveaboard.com team to the incredible experience the gypsy crew provided, to obviously the incredible wildlife, I couldn’t have asked for anything different. Very affordable considering everything included, and huge bang for the buck if you love biodiversity, thresher sharks, muck critters, gorgeous flora and delicious and plentiful meals. Highly highly recommend!

⭐ Final Thoughts This wasn’t just a dive trip—it was a five-star adventure. Clean boat, incredible food, soups I’ll dream about, a crew that felt like family, and safety that let me enjoy every moment
If I could sum up my trip on the MY Gypsy in one word, it would be: unforgettable. From the moment I stepped on board, everything felt effortless and welcoming. The boat was spotless—so clean you could practically eat off the deck (though with the food they served, you’d never want to!). 🍲 Food Worth Writing Home About I didn’t expect to rave about soups on a dive trip, but here we are. Every meal was delicious, but the soups were the kind of comfort food that made you look forward to mealtimes almost as much as the dives. Rich, flavorful, and clearly made with love—they were five-star dishes floating on the ocean. I kept telling my dive buddies, “This soup alone is worth the trip!” 🤿 Crew That Made the Ocean Feel Like Home The dive crew was outstanding. They weren’t just there to guide us—they genuinely cared about making each dive special. Whether it was helping us gear up, pointing out hidden gems underwater, or just sharing their enthusiasm, they made the whole experience feel personal and fun. 🛟 Safety Without Stress What really stood out was how smoothly they handled safety. Getting in and out of the water was organized and calm, and during the dives, you could tell safety was always the top priority. It gave me total peace of mind, so I could just relax and soak in the underwater magic.

- Soup at lunch. The crew manning the panga/zodiac = rubber boat "Speedy" by name. Over all service - everyone involved.

Great Gypsy!
This is so far the best boat i booked by liveaboard.com. Gypsy is not a big boat but doesnt miss any confort and was very clean. The itinerary was perfect including the best spot and diving time was unbeatable because we were always arriving before the crowd! The boat worth 10 stars also for the crew, veryone of them, hard workers, very professional and qualified from the cooker to the divemaster. Helping from the beginning to the end of the day with endless attentions. Honestly their service it has been definitely the best I've ever received. Thanks to everyone and a special one to Damron my diving leader, very prifessional and skilled underwater spotters! (of course thresher&whale shark and a lot of critters and biodiversity)

A wonderful experience with the MY Gypsy crew
We had the chance and great pleasure of spending a wonderful week of diving with the MY Gypsy team from November 20 to 27, 2025. We are a couple in our sixties with more than 700 dives over the past 30 years. We have often traveled to the Caribbean (Cozumel, Curaçao, Bonaire), Indonesia (Raja Ampat, Bunaken, Bali), and the Maldives. We usually stay in hotels or Airbnb-style accommodations, and this was only our second liveaboard experience. The MY Gypsy is a boat that accommodates a maximum of eight guests. During our trip, we were six guests onboard, with eight crew members. The service was outstanding, the dives were spectacular, the briefings were relevant and clear, and safety was always a priority. Meals were served at the table—varied, generous, consistently excellent, and often refined. Christian Junior, our dive guide, was fantastic at drawing our attention to the tiny, almost invisible creatures. The entire crew was attentive, friendly, and always one step ahead of our needs, without ever being intrusive. We had the largest cabin, which was comfortable, spacious, and impeccably clean. We extend our warmest thanks to the whole team for this memorable stay. .

Beautiful encounters on and under the water
We really liked the format of only four cabins, especially since the other guests were extremely friendly. The staff is very smiling, efficient and friendly. The Dive Sites are chosen according to the weather, of course, we had the chance to do three Dive with the Fox Sharks. The boat is overall very comfortable and well maintained. The diving equipment is top-notch.
