Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“The dive trip of a lifetime but I am determined to come back. From the moment we were collected from the airport everything ran like clockwork. The dive groups were small which was helpful. The dive locations were all varied. They included white tip shark watching by reef hook, diving with mantas at night and swimming and lying on the sand at the ocean floor with 20 or more very friendly nurse sharks. Honestly the trip of a lifetime. The meals on the boat were such high quality and we were well looked after with fresh towels every day, good air con in rooms and dive briefing room. Must say it was a luxury experience and worth every penny.”
Recommended for: Big boat separate dive dhoni great itinerary. Night dive with mantas. Exceptional food.
