Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“wonderful holiday on a great boat with unforgettable dives. I highly recommend diving with the Mari team. They provide unforgettable holidays, wonderful experiences and a great atmosphere. The crew tries to take care of every client, they try to fulfill all wishes - even the really impossible ones. The service is great, the food is insanely delicious, the dives are priceless! What you can meet and see underwater exceeds all expectations. You can really feel exceptional and wonderful. 🤩 I will definitely come back on a cruise with Mari. I am already planning the next routes, because the boat sails not only on Raja. With this team you can travel the world!! I highly recommend, no one will definitely feel disappointed or let down! I wish everyone such people on their path of life ☺️😁”
