Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Top trip, top sightings, top dive guides. What an amazing trip with Theia/Dunes. We chose this boat specifically due to the min. dives which were required and what we got were highly experienced divers who were a pleasure to dive with. The group was pretty much divided 50:50 between French and English speaking people. Briefings were always in French and English. The dive guides, especially Simone, were amazing!!! They made the trip very special. The diving itself .... I guess that was our best trip ever with sharks on every dive. But not only sharks and I am talking 100+ sharks on some dives.... we saw many mantas, tons of rays, 1 whaleshark. The food was also truly wonderful with lots of vegetarian options and amazing fish dishes. The boat is older and would need some upgrades but everything worked so it was not a big deal. Bottom line is that the trip was top and one of our best we have ever had after 20+ years of diving.”
