Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Amazing, can’t wait to go again!! This was an excellent first live aboard experience, it will be hard to top for subsequent others! We saw fantastical coral gardens, swam with dolphins, all manner of beautiful fish, huge manta rays on several occasions (night and day), saw whale sharks on multiple occasions (from the boat and while in the water). Honestly, I can’t think of how the experience could’ve been improved. The food was plentiful and delicious, lots of local & spicy options, as well as more (bland), American/European fare. Dive platform was perfect: well maintained equipment in excellent condition, plenty of space to kit up, individual stations to store your personal equipment. Briefings were incredibly thorough, even down to showing underwater maps of each site we visited, so we always knew what to expect. Schedule required early starts, but the day was well-planned out. Will go again with them within the next 2 years.”
Recommended for: Very comprehensive briefings and preparation. Delicious Food. Amazing underwater life.
