Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“An Unforgettable First Liveaboard Experience on the Emperor ja Laut. My first liveaboard experience aboard the Emperor Raja Laut was nothing short of incredible. This beautiful wooden schooner provided the perfect setting for my first dives in Raja Ampat, a destination that truly lives up to its reputation as a diver’s paradise. As a relatively new diver with less than 100 dives as compared to the others divers, my dive master was incredibly attentive, ensuring I felt safe and confident throughout. The crew and cruise director put in a visible effort to find the most challenging and diverse dive sites in the northern and central regions of Raja Ampat, making each dive an adventure. From vibrant coral gardens to thrilling drift dives, every site offered something unique. By the end of the trip, I was completely hooked on liveaboard diving. The combination of world-class diving, expert guidance, and the charm of the Emperor Raja Laut made this an unforgettable experience. I can't wait for my next liveaboard adventure!”
