Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Boat was perfect for us, if you are there for the diving. Amazing boat - the staff couldn’t do enough for you and we were very well fed and looked after. As a vegetarian they took extra steps to make sure I was happy. The dive kit we hired was better quality than my stuff at home, so very happy with that. We were put into two groups, so around 6 people per guide, which we felt was comfortable. They gave us a great number of dives and really thorough briefing. For us this boat was everything we needed - you can spend more for a boat with bigger and more updated quarters, but for us it was all about the diving.”
Recommended for: Effort of dive guides. Quality of the food. Quality of the equipment.
