Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Scuba Christmas trip. Diving: the briefings were very thorough and fun, the dive sites were well-chosen and delivered virtually all marine life we hoped to see. Transfer from the main boat to the dhoni to go diving was very smooth with easy access to the dive sites. Our dive guide was professional and respected our wishes and experience level, though a bit shy. Boat & cabin: the boat was fairly new so certainly in excellent state. Maintenance and cleanliness was better than we experienced on a previous liveaboard trip. The cabin size is good, the bathroom is spacious and homely. Food: as my wife is Malaysian, she is very critical of food but felt the food on this trip was "amazing". The cooks managed to prepare lots of delicious food with plenty variety. They made a birthday cake for me on the first night without us having requested it. The BBQ on the beach, Christmas dinner, Maldivian night dinner and so on, were all superb. Overall, the level of customer service was exquisite, the crew really went out of their way to make the trip as enjoyable as it could be. Highly recommended!”
