Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Amazing! Everything was very well organized and happened on time! Too many to mention. Deep dive in current on the first day with reef sharks. Night dive with Manta's feeding. Swimming with a whale shark in Ari. Best diving trip I have been on in 15 years, with astonishing variety of sea-life. Well organized and friendly boat crew. I have already recommended Ocean Sapphire and its crew to a number of my diving friends, and will continue to do so in future.”
Recommended for: Variety of Sea life. Friendly, helpful and experienced dive guides. Comfortable living conditions.
