Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Extraordinary diving experience with a great companion. The whole trip was exceeded my expectations. This was my first liveaboard experience. As expected, I was able to have multiple dives each day, all those dives really helped me to consolidate my diving experiences, although my progress might be a bit slow but I was happy to see my own improvement and my confidence was built up gradually. Wish - our Dive Guide was brilliant with rich experiences and great patience. He guided our team to see more than other teams, lucky us :) The accommodation on the boat was great, comfortable enough. The service team were nice and attentative all the time. Its a shame I didn't even ask their name. Hope to back again for another liveaboard trip next year.”
Recommended for: Accommodation. Food quality. Service standards.
