Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“One of the best diving experiences I have had. The diving itself was superb, the boat and crew were excellent . The accommodations were nice . The food was good . The crew and especially the dive guides were very professional and safe. All in all it was a fantastic trip and the Palau Sport was a much better experience than I had expected . John and Edwin do a great job ! I would certainly recommend this dive boat to anyone looking to do a live aboard in the Philippines .”
