The diving: Insane! Excellent! Beautiful! Astounding! The crew: Edu and Nic are the absolute bomb! Love love love their attitude, patience, helpfulness, skills, etc. Can’t say enough. I wish I could pack Anto and Tony and the kitchen crew up to take them home. They were SO on top of every request that they seemed to know ahead and were at the ready at all times. The food: Thank you so much for accommodating for my lactose intolerance. The food was absolutely delicious, beyond all expectations!

Every member of the Arenui crew and staff are outstanding, pleasant, friendly, helpful and a pleasure to be around. My experience on the Arenui was wonderful. The diving was amazing. Wawan is an exceptional dive master and will make a great instructor.

My first trip to Indonesia. The entire crew is so hospitable and caring, always smiling. Cruise Directors are the best I have experienced. I will highly recommend Arenui to others. Best dive briefings I have ever experienced. 5 star experience! Great job Wawan the dive master. Very friendly and interested in the guests. The boat: Great boat – lots of thought to the layout. The diving: Good variety of sites. For me the Misool area was the most beautiful. The crew: Stewards – FANTASTIC. The Cruise directors are amazing, very caring and accommodating. The stewards anticipated my every need. Two of the tender drivers were fantastic, understood my gear and how to help me to climb into the tender. The food: Amazing food!! Plentiful, beautifully prepared and presented, healthy. Outstanding!

I would go anywhere with you people! You need to come up with a higher rating system. “Excellent” doesn’t begin to describe how wonderful everything was! Thank you for the gift bag and goodies. Again, attention to detail impeccable. Well done! Everyday was a new adventure filled with wonders of the sea, the warm hospitality of the crew and hanging out with old and new friends. The boat: Love how the culture is brought out throughout the entire boat, ie room names, carvings, batiks. The attention to detail is impeccable and absolutely beautiful. Environmental awareness is top notch. Boat design and layout superb! The diving: WOW! The crew: Entire crew is amazing!!!! Knowledgeable, helpful, happy, courteous, super cute, funny, witty, nice, thoughtful, eager to please, warm and gracious and kind. They all worked together as one solid team. A complete joy to be around all of them. Wawan (homosapien) is a brainiac! The food: Magnificent! My tummy was extremely happy and satisfied! Loved the choices! … STORY: Here are a few memorable moments: A) Day 1, Dive 1 = 40 plus mobula rays and bait ball of anchovies. WOW! B) Making animal noises (monkey, elephant, chicken) for the crew when we returned to the boat after a dive to let them know we were back. Never got old! C) Enjoying the beauty of the islands and all the stars, planets and Milky Way in the night sky. D) Playing hangman with Wawan during safety stops or waiting for the mantas to show up! … Hats off to the entire Arenui team. Well Done!

Once onboard we were at ease, pampered and had a great experience and diving. Budi helped take my booties on and off and pulled my wetsuit unbelievable! When I was assisted putting on my fins I began to understand how royalty must feel! Nic was a great divemaster for me. Despite my many years of diving there were difficulties with buoyancy, decent and my BCD. She was extremely patient with teaching me some new skills no other divemaster had bothered with. I feel I am a much more competent and comfortable diver, thanks to the time and attention she gave me. Thank you!. Easy in and out, thanks to metticilous care of crew on tenders helped with everything! 🙂 Everyone was friendly, helpful, accommodating – and learned quickly what you liked, wanted, needed and provided it beyond expectations; mind readers! All deserve huge kudo but I especially enjoyed Tony; always happy, funny, helpful and fun to be around. Had some good laughs and excellent service, I want to adopt him, lol. Chef accommodated several special requests; onion rings for snack. Everything was great. Didn’t have to worry about a thing – love that the guys rinse and hang wetsuits after each dive and hot coco after night dive. It’s our second time on the boat and we loved both trips.
