Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“A truly special experience. Despite the strong winds and high waves preventing us from following our scheduled travel route, I want to thank the captain, the crew members, and the dive guides who made it possible to create an alternative plan for an incredible week of diving. Thank you for always prioritizing the safety of all your guests on board and for having a crew that rose to the occasion. The food was exquisite in every sense, the dives were long, and the groups were well-balanced by skill level. The atmosphere on the boat was amazing—a mix of nationalities made the journey onboard an enriching experience, even when traveling solo. The cabins are in the process of being renovated and will surely look stunning. The beds were super comfortable. The lounge was spacious, with two terrace areas providing plenty of room for more than 20 divers without feeling cramped. Perhaps next time, the jacuzzi will be up and running to warm up after diving, although we spent countless hours underwater. I want to thank all the members of Hammerhead II for the time shared. I hope to repeat the trip, and this time, may the winds carry us to calmer seas.”
