My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer, I've led dive training and operations. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what makes a great liveaboard experience.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

A fantastic and unique experience. The entire trip was a highlight. The boat was very well maintained and comfortable. We had a couple of very warm nights in the cabins though because there is a fan but no air condition and on the nights we were navigation in between atolls, all windows needed to be closed. Besides that, everything was just wonderful!”

Recommended for: The crew was doing such a great job, diving was fantastic, being so far away from everything was spectacular
