Absolutely stunning experience
Staff again! Sean is the absolute perfect instructor, has advanced knowledge, made learning so much fun! Always respectful, exceeds expectations for CARE of guests, Mimi, the boat manager, took care of us till last detail, puts her heart in everything she does, treated us like family, never seen her face without a smile! All staff is discreet but were always there to offer a hand in any occasion needed! From equipment setup, to general inquiries, assistance throughout the trip was something unseen 🥰 Boat is comfortable, rooms have just enough space and a lovely big window with ocean views! Clean and neat, A/C runs very well all day, if u choose so. Lovely dining area, briefing lounge with great ambience and big screen where staff were displaying dive sight maps and other informative videos! Plenty of food, mostly local style, so if you love Asian cuisine will be your best! Equipment in great condition and plenty of spare options if needed, the staff will take great care of any of your requests. Diving is absolutely amazing, especially wrecks are something exceptional! Visibility was great all the way! Didn’t face much issues with currents. Boat is in great condition, some minor improvements that could be made so far are taken well cared by the staff, the rest are always noted by them to be developed by operators. Fully recommended trip to do, will be an unforgettable life experience! Would 100% come back!

Wow!
My wife and I did the 8 day trip. I would recommend it to anyone serious about seeing as much of Philippines diving in one journey as possible. It's pretty intensive, but also very satisfying and exiting. The bed was comfortable, and the cabins have private bathrooms that could use a little TLC, but they are clean. The boat being multihull is quite spacious in the shared areas and functions well for it's new purpose. It just needs a little spiffing up as it is relatively new to this role. Pricing is very reasonable. It did meet all of our expectations. The staff are wonderful, I could name a couple that stand out but I don't want to take away from the whole excellent team. The food is excellent and the chef takes great care to keep everyone well fed. Thank you all for a great trip!

Great trip
Very good energy & vibes! Very informative on the wildlife, and the wrecks so we knew the history & characteristics of what we were seeing while diving. Friendly & welcoming staff, felt at home. Music & dinner in the evening on the top deck was beautiful. Took an advanced course on board & the instructor did a wonderful job, very attentive & thorough.

First Liveaboard experience was the best we could have hoped for
Able to enjoy 18 of the 20 dives which at 73 did not exhaust us out like usual from shore based. Crew and particularly Chef surprised us with delicious food and we did not lose weight which usually happens in the Philippines as I am vegetarian. Dive guides and especially the Dive instructor was especially helpful in advanced instruction for me and helping my wife be much more comfortable with her descent and buoyancy issues that we are certain to want to return with this vessel!
