Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Diving-oriented and well-organized trip that ensured maximum relaxation and beautiful underwater experiences. All in all, a professionally organized diving trip, which was very well received by people like me, who are enthusiastic about diving and can already dive quite well. Highlights were the diverse encounters with manta rays, several shark species, coral reefs and other underwater animals. Due to the season, the visibility was not quite as good and the waves were sometimes bigger, so that not all announced destinations, especially in the north, could be reached. The alternative dive sites, even if visited before, were still worthwhile.”
Recommended for: Excellent support and dive briefings. Quality and variety in the meals. Comfort and sleeping atmosphere in the cabin.
