“Amazing trip on the Northern wrecks and reefs tour! What amazing diving on the Northern wrecks and reefs tour, I would recommend it to anyone who wants some variety. Gorgeous reefs, great wrecks and the 4 dives on the Thistlegorm including a night dive we simply incredible. The crew are excellent, the cabin and salon staff are excellent and the guides excellent. Would go back again tomorrow.”
Recommended for: The crew and guides are amazing.. The food was great, varied and plentiful. This boat only holds 18 divers, so is a little smaller than most. However, great facilities and does not feel at all cramped. Everyone has lots of space on Serena Dreams and you don't have 28 divers in the water all at the same time!.
