Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“I will be doing it again. It was a wonderful time, great boat, crew and food. Could not ask for a better group of divers to be out with. New Guinea in country flights are hectic. Give yourself time and patience. But the New Guinea people are lovely.”
Recommended for: Corals were amazing, abundance of fish. Wonderful staff. Friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating. Long dives and never saw another dive boat.
