Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“A deeply impressive experience of what is without a doubt one of the best dive sites in the world. The cruise director Clement is an extremely experienced dive guide and has a lot of knowledge about marine life. The crew was fantastic with their service, help and additional comforts including massages and delicious food. The selection of dive sites is the best a diver can dream of and the journey along the islands is simply wonderful.”
