Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Awesome liveaboard exceeding expectations. First time on a liveaboard here; I actually think we got lucky booking Serenity and no other boat. All my expectations were exceeded; food was great and varied (no problemo with the tummy), crew was always happy and helping, guides were superb, especially Helal. They were very focused on safety, even doing fire/emergency drills before we set sail. Rooms exceeded expectations as well (upper deck with a view, can recommend). Free snacks were available in infinity. If I'd go again I'd choose this boat (this time we went north.. perhaps south next time?). Itinerary was good and varied :) A lot of cool wrecks varied with beautiful reefs! Guests on the boat were varied in age and gender, but mostly from Europe :)”
