Luigi, Thank you for stopping by last night, it was so nice to meet the heart behind Arenui! All your efforts and hard work have more than paid off. Oliver, Ken, Laurent and I had a FANTASTIC trip in Raja Ampat. Well travelled New Yorkers and dive instructors from 6 star resorts are not easy to impress but you succeeded. We were all wowed the Arenui. The boat itself is gorgeous. Our cabins were amazing ,big, and well air conditioned. Linens and towels were very high end. Overall the Arenui is far and beyond any other live aboard dive boat any of us have been on. In fact the Arenui is in a class of its own. As Oliver and I have reached an age where comfort and luxury matter, we have chosen 6 star resorts over live aboards. With the Arenui we have found a floating 6 star resort. The crew was really first class. Everyone was incredibly nice, cheerful and eager to please. Special requests were accommodated. The cabins were kept clean and sparkling. The public areas were very comfortable., The food was quite good. Ken enjoyed many massages. The attention to detail was impressive. The dive operation was top notch. Ken rented equipment which was top of the line and in perfect repair. The tenders were fast and comfortable. The tender staff were always there and helpful both when beginning a dive and when we ascended. The service was exceptional. We never touched our gear once after we arrived. The dive staff took care of it all including rinsing. Nitrox was available. The cruise directors Debbie and Jerry offered instruction and were great to dive with. In addition they were great leaders for the staff and kept the boat running smoothly. They are very conscientious, always available, and hard working. The dive masters Ali and Toby were very knowledgeable and had “great eyes”. The small touches which made a huge difference and also serve to put Arenui above the rest are too numerous to mention. However all of us noticed them and appreciated the extra effort. All in all I would highly recommend a trip on the Arenui to everyone, especially the most discerning travellers. Look forward to diving with you again soon, Carole
