Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“The most wonderful dive experience we could ever had. The best decision I ever made. We were welcomed by the crew and the owner who joined the trip with us and from there it just got better. Our VIP room was spacious and super confortable. The food serviced was just like the one you would get from a restaurant, fresh and delicious. Our diver master, Bong, was knowledgeable and knew exactly where to take us. Ohr first dive, we saw a beautiful whale shark just in front of us. The whole trip was just amazing. The walls are colorful and full of live. A big thank you to Kevin who dove close to us all the time to make sure we were all safe. After each dive, I would just lay down in the 3rd deck until the next dive, and the crew would bring me drinks and even a pillow. They were all so attentive and kind. Thank you all for making our experience the best we could have it.”
