Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“life is too short, dive now, work later. :). I hesitated a little when I initially booked this liveaboard because there are only a few reviews. But I booked it anyway, as the dates suited me. This turned out to be one of the best liveaboards. The diving is amazing. Manu, our dive guide was extremely experienced and when the extra mile when we requested for things. The eye for detail is amazing. The food is a mixture of Indonesian and chinese. Gali was a good cook who always never said no to whatever food request I threw his way. Thank you for this trip”
