Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“For the most part great, with small possibilities for improvement. Some dive sites were not well chosen, doing the night dive on a boring reef and then being able to sell a second one for additional costs does not have to be....The groups were not put together according to experience and certification...Ending dives after 50 minutes even though there is still a lot of air in the tank should not happen.”
Recommended for: Hanifaru Bay. TG with a local guide in between. Most of the dive sites were top.
