Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Wonderful and unforgettable. My experience with Adora was fantastic. We saw several species of sharks, snorkeled with two (!) whale sharks at night, one more whale shark the day after, several mantas at night and two more the day after at their cleaning station. Plus eagle and sting rays, big turtle, octopus, and so on. The diving was very beautiful and our guides very professional. The staff both for the diving and in the boat was extremely friendly, kind, funny. They really made the experience even more enjoyable. The boat itself is great, spacious and cozy, huge rooms and everything well functioning. Big thanks to Deko, Ismail and the rest of the team!”
Recommended for: Whale sharks, mantas, friendly staff.
