Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Dive with a good team. I really enjoy being with them. This liveaboard is good for budget fun diver. I read review beforehand. I already prepare to have small room and bed will not really big. This liveaboard provides caring and professional service. Dive guides are professional. Room is clean and crew are friendly. I am looking for great experience underwater. I really enjoy diving with this team. If any fun diver is looking for fancy hardware above water, this is not a good option for them.”
Recommended for: Dive guide is professional. This is budget liveaboard but service is good and crew is friendly and caring. Food option is not many but enough for us..
