Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Value-packed experience. I wasn’t expecting such an awesome experience when I signed up for it. For such a price, you get 17 dives, sharks, turtles, octopus, sunsets, sunrises, Milky Way, amazing meals, 7 nights’ stay with rooms cleaned everyday, super friendly crews, great diving guides, friends from all over the world. I would say the highlight is definitely people. I know we weren’t the luckiest, the luckier divers who were on this same boat saw hamper heads, dolphins and dugongs. But still, even we weren’t luck enough to see those, it was still an enjoyable trip, because of the incredible staffs and the overall atmosphere. Highly recommended!”
Recommended for: Diving guides and teachers are amazing (learnt Nitrox and scooter on board). Boat crew were super friendly and hospitable. Ocean animals, sunset, sunrise, Milky Way at night is stunning.
