Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Sets a new standard for liveaboards. 10/10. I only ever want to dive on boats like this from now on. Incredibly luxurious and spacious. Private ensuite with a view from the shower that some people pay 10k/night for at a resort. Food was incredible too. Freshly cooked eggs to order every morning. Delicious meals 3 times / day - not your usual liveaboard fare. And the dive crew - who were knowledgable, relaxed, professional, and friendly - found all the best encounters for us. Mantas, whale sharks, tiger sharks, nudibranchs - everything you could ask for and much much more. The diving setup - including a huge separate dive boat with everyone’s gear pre-setup, was the most sophisticated and hassle-free I have ever experienced. I will be back again!”
Recommended for: Incredible luxurious boat. Unbelievable diving. Sensational food.
