Trip of a lifetime! This will now become a yearly trip. Perfect in every way! Probably the best dive trip I’ve ever been on! Everything was perfect, from start to finish. Safety onboard/underwater is incredible, the guides were amazing, the boat crew were SO helpful and the food was incredible. Will definitely be back next year.”

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

Fantastic first liveaboard experience. I genuinely enjoyed my first liveaboard experience on the sea serpent excellence. The boat was in great condition and the crew went out of their way to make all the guests feel cared for and comfortable. The cabin, especially the bathroom, was well maintained and provided room to recharge. The boat itself was spacious, with lots of different places to find a spot away from the sun. The diving was safe, varied and the guides did their best to support the divers of varying experience. We saw hammerhead sharks and mantas and enjoyed spotting dolphins during our surface intervals. Can't wait to dive with sea serpent again :)”

Recommended for: Great route. Extremely dedicated staff. Fantastic group of divers.
