Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Unforgettable trip with perfect weather! This was our first liveaboard experience and I booked West Coast Divers based on previous reviews, which did not disappoint! I have food allergies, and the chefs were nothing short of amazing in catering for my needs. Each and every time they had prepared a separate, special made meal for me. Thank you to Darin and the chefs! Marcello was also great with leading the trip, he was clear with the rules of the boat and explained everything in detail. At no time did I feel unsafe, and all the diving was superb. Being our first trip, the hardest part overall was trying to keep the energy going to do 4 dives a day, but no regrets! We didn't manage to do them all even though we tried!”
