Awesome diving and so fun.
This is a very fun crew. The boat was great. They were so helpful. We saw our first Sea Snake, and a Giant Grouper. This is our 3rd liveabord and they will be our first choice next year.

Experienced Diver Review
Fellow divers, the crew, meal time and The Parawa. Attention to details and some of the best dives and briefings. Bento is the Ringmaster of the whole show and his 10 years on the boat make the whole trip flow seamlessly.

Amazing liveaboard - highly recommend
As someone said before, this is champagne on a beer budget. Everything is so nice - you even get a hot towel after night dives. The entire crew is sweet and helpful. Food was absolutely amazing. And of course, the diving was epic thanks to skilled dive guides. You can’t control wildlife or weather, but you can control some things. This crew is so skilled, knowledgeable, and kept us safe the entire time. Rooms are small but super comfortable - have good ac, cozy beds, and hot showers. Couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend. Big thank you!

Champaign experience on a beer budget
Vincent and his staff ensured the best experience. The dives sites were quite good although visibility and surges weren’t always the most cooperative. The dive guides and boat crew worked together being flexible with time and location to ensure the best experience. Food was delicious and overly abundant. We can’t recommend this boat and crew enough, a fantastic time.

It was amazing! 🤩
The moment we left the trip, we wanted to get right back on the boat and do another trip. That’s how good it was! Vincent and the crew were awesome, they answered any concerns we had and were flexible with everyone’s needs on the boat. The amount of money you pay doesn’t equate to the level of comfort you get - the crew went out of their way to make every single day and dive super fun, enjoyable and relaxing for us. We are already making plans for our next trip which will be very soon 😎

Organized very professionally, awesome trip
Overall experience was amazing. Beto did a great job with organizing. it was a tight schedule but we were able to get the most out of it. I am really surprised how professionally the tour was planned. We were 21 divers on board, we dived in waves and never had a problem. Our instructor was Angel, we had superb dives. Staff was very friendly, we did not have a single problem, it was a very positive and a lot of fun trip. Kit - chef was amazing. We explored islands before diving trip and the food on boat was better than any of the restaurants we have been to. i dived in Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Hawaii before. Dive sites in this trip were way better than any of my previous experiences. We have seen whalesharks and marine life was very alive, a lot of schools of fish and amazing landscape with sea fans, pinnacles. I rarely leave good reviews, but this one was 5 star in every aspect.
