Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Exceptional, bucket-list, fun and memorable trip to Raja Ampat. This Raja Ampat trip just blew us away. I have over 878 dives worldwide and this was at the top of my list. I narrowed down the list of ships that we would sail on out of the 93 in this locale. Neptune One was the choice and it surpassed our expectations. On a scale of 1 to 10, I have to say, 11.”
Recommended for: Staff: Attentiveness of this Staff, was exceptional. The Dive team helped with our gear setups, guided our dives, Savri was professional, courteous and knowledgeable. The Servers and culinary team were over-the-top with selections, promptness, and service and even made special requests like iced tea and teas after our dives. The housekeeping staff kept our room spotless. The Captain and crew made our journey safe and easy. Rizzo gave exceptional dive briefings and accommodated us with an extra dive. Please keep this staff on board the Neptune One!. The Diving & Hiking Excursions: Our group of 6 have dived worldwide and never encountered better dives than Raja Ampat. The choices of dive sites was spectacular. Raja Ampat is a "must dive" adventure for a lifetime. If you want to see Mantas, Sharks, Batfish, Eels, Turtles, Wobegon Sharks, Walking Sharks, Pygmy Seahorses, Anemones, Clown Triggerfish, Ocean Triggers, Blacktip Sharks, and healthy too-many-to -name corals, this is it.
