Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Great tour. The 15-day tour started in the south and already at the beginning the tiger sharks were of course an amazing experience. In search of hammerhead sharks, manta rays and whale sharks, the crew tried very hard to get the best options out of it. The dives took place in well-coordinated small groups and it was tailored to individual needs. The atmosphere on board was relaxed and all guests were well taken care of. The cabins were great, just like the rest of the boat. At the end of the tour, all the equipment was washed and dried for the guests. I would go again at any time”
Recommended for: Perfectly coordinated crew, great service around the clock, many great dives.
