Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Super fun and enjoyable Liveaboard experience. Boat is very well upkept, very spacious, new and clean. The jacuzzi is the best after dives. Staff are all so friendly. Dives were guided professionally, briefings were detailed and we always felt safe to be in the group. Another highlight is on the last day when we finished all the dives. Staff set up inflatables for us to play. We had a lot of fun!!!”
