Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Great diving safari with top crew. Amazing experience. A very friendly, attentive and competent crew. I felt comfortable and well cared for from a to z. The locations of the diving spots/sites were well chosen. Wreck diving was very impressive. We were also often the first on site and therefore on the road before the other. The guides did a 1a job. Food on the ship was great. Unbelievable what the kitchen crew conjured up every day. A big thank you to the whole crew. Very well done! Bravo and keep it up.”
Recommended for: Crew - Friendly & competent. Diving spots/locations. Food.
