Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Wonderful trip on a smaller boat that shows its age. This was a fantastic trip with wonderful people. The crew is fantastic. The diving was great. The food was really good. They even made me a cake for my birthday. 🎂🙂 Visiting empty, remote island beaches and a village were also wonderful. I have no complaints. It was a perfect trip for me. The con of the boat is that the rooms are quite small. I was lucky to have a cabin to myself so it worked out fine, but if I had needed to share it would have been far too cramped. The lower cabins are quite dark and even smaller! That being said, if you have your own cabin it's perfect. I loved this trip.”
Recommended for: The three best things were the diving, the crew, and the comradery of the guests.
