Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Malaillo is a ship that can only inspire every diver. The wooden ship is a dream, the team keeps the boat in good shape. Diving caters to the needs of the guests. You feel fully cared for all around. Fantastic the drinks after each dive, the food wonderful. Hot chocolate after every night dive, what more could you want. The whole team on board treats every guest with friendliness and after a short time on board you feel like you have arrived in a family. Nature and the environment are looked at, no plastic on board. Just perfect. Anytime again Malaillo!!”
Recommended for: Dive sites thoughtfully chosen. Service and friendliness. Atmosphere on board.
