Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Best experience in 15 years. Truly exceptional - I can’t be too positive about my experience on Neomi and it was by some distance my best liveaboard in 15 years. It was exceptional from start to finish and in every dimension. I guess the crew can’t take all the credit for the dives. Sharks on every dive- hunting or sleeping, Octupuses, manta, snakes, Nudis, but they knew where to be when and my dive guide Bawa must have eyes on the back of his head. He doesn’t miss a thing. Every member of the crew made me feel at home and so well cared for. Generous, attentive and all with a smile. The food was great and always plenty of it. My cabin was bright, clean and had pristine sheets, a powerful shower and was cleaned daily. I was travelling alone and shared the boat with the owner, Mr Ronnie, and his beautiful family. It was wonderful to be treated like part of his family all week. There is so much more of Indonesia to explore and I will definitely be booking with Neomi.”
Recommended for: Exceptional crew. Exceptional accommodation. Exceptional diving.
