Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“An experience I won't soon forget. We saw multiple sharks, rays and turtles. Despite not seeing much sealife during the night dive it was a great experience. The evening talk on the fish we will find on the reef was both entertaining and interesting”
Recommended for: The locations of the dives were perfect and offered a wide variety of sealife. The crew was friendly, funny and helpful in answering any questions I had. The boat was well equipped for it's size and I think the small number of people helped the trip feel more unique.
Customer Review By Ben S, from: Australia scored the Rum Runner Liveaboard 9.6 out of 10; Review courtesy of Liveaboard.com, for all 30 reviews and information click here: Rum Runner Liveaboard .
