Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“It was an amazing birthday dive that I’ll never forget! I like that the crew are strict with the medical clearances they need. It is for the safety of the guests. I mentioned to them during booking that it was my birthday and they went above and beyond with the surprise. Marta really sang her heart out that evening and took a video of everyone. I really enjoyed and appreciated it. I loved the intro dives i did with Thom because I was solo during that dive and he took care of me when I was having issues with my weights and tank. The one with Ari was also great! She made sure all of us were fine during the dive and pointed out creatures when we see them. The guests and crew were all really friendly. Some of the food were great but I’m missing my favorite noodle soup specially after a long day of diving.”
Recommended for: Birthday surprise for me and the guests are also amazing. Made new friends.. The diving was really great and the guides are friendly.. The crew really takes care of us. When I felt sea sick during the first 2 dives they always check up on you.
