Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Trip of a Lifetime. I was genuinely impressed by the boat and everything on the Wisesa. The open style of the boat allowed for a great atmosphere and very comfortable accommodations. The diving itself was absolutely amazing- with the DM and CD doing amazing jobs the entire week of ensuring we had the best dive sites (and all to ourselves) and all of our needs met. The food was great- varying options every day to fit all preferences. The rooms were kept clean for us and the crew attended to any requests. The boat itself is in great condition and really contributed to a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Best liveaboard trip I’ve been on and it will be tough for other boats to compete!! Thanks guys, had a blast.”
Recommended for: The people (crew, DM and CD), The diving (obviously amazing) and the boat - perfect accommodations to relax in between dives
