Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Such an amazing liveaboard experience. As it was my First liveaboard experience, I did not know what to expect. I have had such an amazing time. Everything is so well organised. The service is similar to being in a five star hotel. My fellow divers were so friendly. Crew is always trying to make you happy. I will definitely recommend and come back!”
Recommended for: Top service. Great diving group. Beautiful boat.
