Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Diving and price great, but quality poor. The best part was the diving, simply because there is a lot of underwater life. The dive sites are very good. The cabins are very good. And the price is low. But unfortunately, the other one was below average. I also have to say this boat was not supposed to start this week because the customers were missing and in the last 2 days we decided differently as there were several reservations. And that's why I guess a B-team was brought in, as examples: second "dive master" couldn't even dive (no proper buoyancy, constant blows on the corals), chaotic organization in the boat and under water, the cook can't cook (all the fish and chicken was cooked too long and therefore hard), and the worst thing was .... no spare equipment (no extra regulators, tanks, fins, masks and NO dive lights).”
Recommended for: Dive. Cabins. Price.
