Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“2nd visit. .. simply the best variety. The best don't expect 5 star luxury , great stable quiet boat.well organised but not regimented. You get asked for opinions , rib trip's between some dives.no hidden extra costs. And a nice final touch your luggage gets taken ahead and checked in you arrive 30 mins before flight and away you go. Even delays are checked . Great value for money.”
Recommended for: on board ambience family feel. terrific diving. great crew well run boat from start to finish.
