Valuable experience
The food provided was so delicious, and the scenery viewed from the boat was absolutely enchanting. The crew were all kind, and everything was managed in a well-organized and systematic way, which made it very comfortable.

A ship with personality
I booked the The junk because I really liked the ships apperance and every dive when we went back to the boat I felt joy and adventure compared to other boats around us. This ship definatly has personality and you could tell the staff loved the boat as well. Great safety and briefs, the food was really awesome and the staff was great as well so only good things to say. I recommend this trip to anyone who likes an adventure when you go diving.
