Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Wonder dive experience! The best. Had a wonderful trip with the Aurora crew. The diving was excellent, the highlight being hammerhead sharks but every dive was good and most amazing. The staff went over and above to make the trip super special. New equipment, 4 divers per DM, though we had a DM for the two of us. The diving was from a tender so super easy getting into and out of the water. Food was varied and excellent, and cold soft drinks always available. Room were reasonable size and cleaned every morning while we were diving. There’s plenty of space to chill out between dives. Definitely highly recommended, will go diving on the Aurora again if I can! 😊😊😊”
