Wonderful diving and superb crew with friendly, uplifting attitude
The food was plentiful and delicious with lots of seafood. The guide was good at spotting critters in the ocean and was a good photographer when he took pictures of me while diving. All the staff were very friendly and most learned your name. The head person, Tom, was a delight with a funny personality and wonderful attitude. He made everything such fun! Cabin 3 still has some funny smells however. Grab one of the others instead!

Celebes headed for Hades
The happy helpful and plentiful crew helped with this trip. The Celebes Explorer is a tired and sad boat. Cabins are in poor condition but clean enough... if one ignores the mould and water soaked woodwork. Warm water in shower adequate. Power failure in cabins a daily reality.. A new boat is currently being built with an expected delivery date of late this year. Good home style cooking for meals but this is not your soup, selection of mains and dessert liveaboard. Three mains a greens and fruit (melon or watermelon) dishes on offer each meal. Plenty of it and toast and jam on permanent offer. I drink my tea and coffee black which was just as well. Dive guide knew the sites well and good weather and mild currents made for easy diving. No real need to dive deep as most of the interesting stuff is 15m up.

Do your research, Know what you are getting into, be very cautious and speak up if you feel unsafe.
I would add one more highlight: and that, is of course the people you meet on board, we had a nice time. I chose to take a main deck room, with single occupancy and paid the 50% surcharge. At 63 I prefer not to share. Now, I had read all of the reviews and they are quite correct; I was in room 1, top deck with a 2 ft by 3 ft window not quite a double bed. The house keeping staff did a great job on getting the room ready for me. Absolutely no complaints or concerns with the staff. (actually, not at any time during the trip). My toilet did not work without filling a bucket of water and using this as your flush. My shower did not work when others were using the showers below. But none of this mattered, I knew what I was buying and chose to do it and a happy that I did. Others, below my deck, experienced similar issues that you have already read in past reviews. Now: here are my real concerns. 1) This is one of the very worst places in the world to dive! The coral is mostly dead; Which means that the fish and aquatic animals are disappearing. This, very large reef is dying and someone is selling it as if it was pristine. The waters are so polluted that you can see debris, over every surface, all of the time. There are so many other majestic places in the world to dive, I suggest you look else where. 2) Should you choose to book with the Celebes Explorer, and you are given Raf as your dive master, my advise to you is to immediately ask for a replacement. I have been diving since 2009 and have logged over 100 dives and his behavior is unsafe. He does not look to ensure you are all accounted for at all times. In fact he, in a 45 minute dive will look to see who is there 2 to, maybe, 3 times. He does not ask what your O2 level is. He dives erratically both vertically and horizontally, meaning, if you do not have a dive computer you can not dive with any level of comfort. He constantly plays with shells, small fish and then moves off. There was one time when the three of us, divers, had to work our tails off, against the current to try to get to him as he was oblivious to us and how the current was pulling us away as he had his silver rod in the ground and was not "currenting" along with us. He said to stay together and he was useless. I chose not to dive 2 dives as I felt he was unsafe. We spoke of this to each other and agreed that we would look out for each other as he was not. Ok, Ok, Ok! Some of you are saying, "then why did you not say something to someone?" and rightly so. I guess we felt we could cope. I do regret not getting two of my dives in, but this was a risk I could not take. Lee Koran

Great liveaboard Experience, made possible with the great crew
For me this was my first ever liveaboard experience, and I must say I'm hungry for the next one. The Celebes Explorer, although a bit old and run down, is more than certainly made up for by the liveliness and hospitality of both the boat crew and Divemaster Basher. He was knowledgeable about the dive spots we visited everyday and made sure we were able to best experience the various sights around Sipadan island. Three square meals a day were provided, no complaints and it was a nice touch having fresh cut fruit provided with every meal. Be prepared to ratchet down your plates when eating during choppy seas! Also, bring your hard drive with movies on it to share with the crew, as they have a penchant for good old action movies whilst eating meals. Other than that, a very good experience aboard the boat and would love to return again. Also, email communication with the Dive operator was superb, Tania was able to respond in a timely matter to whatever queries I had about the trip. Highly recommended!

Great diving, old and smelly cabins
The diving was great, and the dive staff knew the dive sites very well. The boat is however getting old and the term "luxury" is no longer applicable. The boat in it self is OK, however the cabins a very smelly from mold or water damage. Live aboard is however recommended over staying at Mabul as you are guaranteed to go diving everyday, something the resorts can´t due to limited number of passes to the national park. The food is OK, there is a buffet for all meals with a variety of Malaysian dishes, but you get a bit sick of deep fried food everyday for all three meals.

Celebes Live Aboard
Trip was a good value, you get to dive Sipadan four times most every day. Resorts in the area will likely let you go every third day or so. The boat needed some maintenance work, though, the generator cut out several times during the week I was on board. Boat crew and divemasters did a good job. One thing to note, though, is that night diving is not permitted at present due to curfew. (The itinerary I received said night dives at Mabul would be included, but this is not the case at the moment...)

AWESOME dive guide but the livaboard boat the celebes was falling apart!
we were SO dissappointed to find out that there was to be NO NIGHT DIVES allowed AT ALL in the last two years, you would think that they would say something about this on ANY website, but i guess because of the kidnappings, then it would just scare tourists off. but if you are into ANY night diving, we wish we could get a comp trip because of THAT idssappointtment. alone as the site still promises night dives. even though the boat was belching rust chunks out of the smokestack, and it was puking gobs of oil which caused oil slicks larger than the exxon valdez spill which we had to keep outrunning, we were told that there was a new one being built. ready in two years! the generators were turned off about 3 times a day and you had to re start the air con every time. the dive runabout boat was in the same condition of being ready to take a dive. or a dump....but the guides were awesome and the boatman was great and professional. the condition and maintenance was deplorable. we had to walk in a pool of piss water everytime we went to the bathroom because the ship was overweighted on one side where it did not drain. but if you want to dive dive dive the sipadan sites, you are in for a treat we went every morning to pick up the flag that announces we HAVE A PERMIT TO DIVE 3-4 DIVES PER DAY!!! the food!!! it always smelled really great, but then they added too much sauce to drown out the garlic flavor that you could smell in the beginning stages... the cleavered chicken left a lot to be desired. the chicken ALWAYS almost was cleavered and then battered or put in the soup and if the back ribs excite you then you got no bones to pick! they end up in your mouth and throat. if they coul dONLY stop cooking the food until it is burned to non recognition we would have been happier. but we love to dive so all the rest is piddly. this is NOT a comfort boat! but the staff is very freindly and obliging! and raf , the dive guide was super at finding all sorts of

Multiple schools of many kinds, hundreds of green turtles & pelagics
Very enjoyable, we only had 4 diving customers on the boat. Tom our dive guide was brilliant, through his wealth of knowledge we saw plenty of what Sipadan had to offer. Also he knew exactly how to run a dive at a sensible speed & not rushing the dive. My only two faults are, 1. Liveaboard.com are still advertising night dives on this trip, which was one of the factors for me booking this trip. This has not been possible for all of 2015, possibly longer, as there is a 19.00 hrS curfew in the area, due to security problems. We had four reasonably heavily armed police onboard for the whole trip, this was not mentioned also. 2. I had requested Nitrox for the trip, but didn't get as the boat had no request from Liveaboard.com. The crew mix their own Nitrox from medical oxygen cylinders so there is a limited supply on the boat, so no formal request, no Nitrox, bit disappointed & had to be watchful of my deco times on third dive.
