Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Highly recommend Seahorse! Everything about this trip was exceptional from the crew, to the food, dive sites and the boat. Everything was very comfortable and the crew was very professional and fun. There was a huge diversity of dive sites as we moved from Raja Ampat at the beginning to Lebeh at the end. There was a great mix of beautiful reef dives as well as muck dives.”
Recommended for: The Director and entire crew was great! We felt right at home on the boat. They really went out of their way to make the experience feel special for us.. The food was excellent!. The dive guides were exceptional at finding interesting marine life.
