Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“An Exceptional Diving Experience. Had an absolutely wonderful liveaboard experience. The crew has been together for years and are a well-oiled machine and adept at handling any and all experiences. The boat was immaculately maintained, the private chef provided a plethora of culinary options, and the dive sites were fantastic. We dove a wide range of caves, caverns, ship wrecks, and multiple reefs and are leaving better divers and more in love with scuba diving than before. We could not have had a more positive experience and we will absolutely be back to dive again and extend our time on this boat and have already recommended this boat and experience to other divers.”
