“Couldn't have gone better! From the pickup at the hotel to the drop-off at the airport, the crew made it as easy and fun as they could. The dives at 'Mayhem' and 'Melissa's Garden' were spectacular, as the others. Smooth sailing the entire week, total fun experience!”

My diving experience spans cold-water UK drysuit dives, warm coral reefs in the Caribbean, the Red Sea, the Great Barrier Reef, and South Africa. As a former BSAC Diving Officer, I've led dive training and operations. I've logged every type of dive: decompression stop deep dives, wreck dives, shark dives, night dives, drift dives, and everything in between. This hands-on experience means I know exactly what makes a great liveaboard experience.

Customer review from Liveaboard.com

“Stunning place for a honeymoon. The range of diving was excellent and included a range of dives that allowed time to search for the small critters as well as the sharks, manta's and abundant fish life. The crew of Sea Safari were excellent and made it a really fun experience, whilst maintaining the focus on safety during the dives and any boat transfers. The food was abundant, and of a very very high quality. Fresh fish, crab, lobster all served across the journey in addition to some of the Indo staples.”
