Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Stunning Underwater Creatures Everywhere You Looked. It was an excellent trip! So many nudis that I'd never seen. The whaleshark dive at Lila was worth the added fee. The thresher shark dive was amazing. Try to go EARLY in the day before the day trip boats arrive. Serious appreciation for the dive guides ability to spot Shaun the Sheep and pygmy seahorses! Sometimes even with them pointing the nudi out I still wasn't sure what I was looking at. But the spotter board definitely helped id the creatures. Dive guide dressing up as Santa for the Christmas morning dive was really fun and our group all wore Santa hats for the dive. I'll be reviewing my photos and videos for a long, long time. The crew was great at helping with gear and hot towels. The food in general was very good (chili chop chop chop and Philippine STEAM RICE #IYKYK), but over 10 days did get a bit repetitive.”
Recommended for: Excellent dive guides. Healthy reefs. Thresher sharks.
