Arenui is the best dive boat I have ever been on. Having experienced several boats with my family, the staff truly make the difference and make every trip memorable. The crew were incredible, the food was amazing all around, and the entire experience was wonderful.

This boat and crew were exceptional. We are an extremely large camera group, and your staff found a solution to meet our needs. The kitchen staff are top shelf. Great food and presentation. Competent and well-run dive operation. The boat operators and divemasters are highly skilled. We would not change a thing and look forward to returning to Borneo. Plenty to see and photograph, with mostly clear waters

This is a great boat — luxury at its finest. The crew is beyond excellent. The food is 5-star. So accommodating to diet restrictions and personal choice. Everyone is so professional, yet so friendly and helpful. Great trip and great dive masters and tender captains. I loved every moment on this boat. The crew is top of my list — and I have a long list. So thankful for you all. I would love to return. I only wish I had had a 10-day trip

The boat is definitely one of the best liveaboards I have been on. Every little detail has been accounted for. The food was delicious and plentiful. Chef Mario and his staff were spectacular in their food selections and presentation. I’m sorry to leave and not be able to enjoy his delicious preparations again. The crew is absolutely amazing and left nothing for us to attend to. They were always one step ahead of anything we needed. Truly outstanding. The diving was great, and the staff was superlative in every respect. Our dive guide Tome is hilarious and funny

The way the crew handled photo equipment was beyond excellent. All guests were equally impressed with the crew, who worked as a cohesive unit — really outstanding. Borneo is a new destination for me. Very worthwhile, and great that it is so free of other boats — for now. Very impressed — one of the world's great dive liveaboards for sure

I really appreciate the flexibility of the dive crew in giving us freedom to dive and explore without being too restrictive. Some of the food was excellent and otherwise all amazing.

"Overall, the boat looks and feels great. Fantastic improvements on the master suite. The spacious shower and extra shelving are appreciated. Thank you to everyone who works to keep the boat clean, fresh, and organized. Chef Mario and his staff have brought the food on this boat to another level. Every meal has been delicious and perfectly cooked. If they awarded the Michelin star to dive boats, you would deserve it. Thank you, Chef Mario and staff, for your meal plans and efforts, as well as Areef for serving us with kindness, efficiency, and a smile. You have all presented yourselves with friendly, welcoming warmth and are consistently available to help us as well as each other. It feels like everyone on the boat has each other’s back. Great teamwork. Thank you Alex, Natalia, Arif, Kadek, the Captain, tender drivers, room boys, engine room — everyone made this trip special to me. The diving was beyond my expectations. Beautiful diversity of corals and fish life. Great mix of dives to keep it interesting and exciting. Thank you, Ethan, for escorting us through the waters. You were particularly good in the muck. It was great seeing some old friends and meeting some new ones on this trip. We are looking forward to seeing you all next year, same time, same place

The crew went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. It was such fun getting to know everyone and it felt like they got to know us too, which makes it hard to say goodbye! I’ll be back to see you again. All the staff were friendly and helpful, and the divemasters were excellent at directing us and finding interesting things underwater

Thank you for the trip of a lifetime! It wouldn’t have been the same without the stories, singing, and the joy of connecting with the crew through adventure. The amenities on the Arenui are truly next level—thank you for constantly caring for the shared spaces. I loved the patterns and cultural touches everywhere, which made the experience feel immersive. The food quality was excellent, exquisite, delicious, varied, creative, and thoughtful from start to finish. Thank you for the gift of food! One of the biggest reasons I’d return is the people and friends we made along the way. Special thanks to Dino, Tian, Natty, and the team who took care of our gear. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure a magical dive trip. The music, too, was the best part of making me feel at home, even while away. The divemasters and captains were exemplary—quick to answer and correct, patient, and observant with the divers. The briefings were fun and relevant, and I loved talking about photography and marine life during surface intervals. The locations and dive sites were truly otherworldly. You’ve mastered the perfect balance of activities and downtime! I felt cared for 24/7—not just by the facilities, but by your competent and caring crew. Ithuan membercati camu (God bless you), magasi (thank you)! The boutique selection was also such a sweet touch—I collect stickers, pins, and keychains, and the earrings and pashminas were gorgeous!
