Very rewarding trip
It has been a short but very rewarding life on board. Everything is very well organized, from pick-up and drop-off to the boat and the transfer after the trip is over to the airport or another hotel. The organization is very good, well-structured tempos, snacks and drinks between dives.Spectacular food.All the staff on the boat are super friendly and help at any time.The boat is old but has a lot of charm.The dive sites are well chosen depending on the weather and waves. The dive guides accompany you without pressure. Dives are 60 minutes.We are very happy to have been able to enjoy a few days on this boat and with this crew.
