It truly felt like everyone was happy to have you aboard. The divemasters were very enthusiastic and very safety conscious. If you asked them to show you something they did their best to find it. The crew; everyone was top notch.

The crew did an outstanding job of keeping the boat organized, neat, tidy and immaculate. Outstanding job! The diving; no words to describe how beautiful everything is. The crew; it is with tears in my eyes that I say goodbye to this crew. I have been smothered with attention. My needs have been met before I even knew them. Special acknowledgement to Anto and Putu. Also the tender drivers and the list goes on… The food; the best food on any liveaboard.

Debbie and Jerry have a huge range of skills – not only mastery of all the diving issues (sites, critters, photography, gear), but have tremendous people skills, have hired a fantastic crew, deliver very high value, and adapt and trouble shoot with grace. Debbie taught a nitrox course as well. My ears have been a problem for years and I was not surprised when on day number six I had a total block and could not descend. At the manta dive at Manta Alley the tender crew towed me, as I held to the rope and they made sure I saw the mantas, as well as so many other critters. We had a blast. Debbie then arranged for Yusuf to escort me on snorkel ‘dives’ along the reef. He was brilliant at spotting turtles, sharks, cuttlefish and helped fend off an attach of a titan trigger! I felt incredibly well cared for. The diving; diving was spectacular. Briefings kept me aware of current, where to find critters. Yusuf could not have been better in making snorkeling a wonderful ‘plan B’. The crew-I had an unusual need – inability to dive because of ear problems. Jerry, Debbie and Yusuf arranged for me to snorkel which was wonderful. The tender crew made our diving so vey easy by helping with fins and caring for vests, masks, etc. The restaurant stewards were first rate. The last night party was a tremendous surprise. The food; amazing ability to keep lettuce fresh. All food served seemed high quality and very healthy.

Divemasters were all fabulous. Gayus was my favourite, he could find anything. Food was the best, ate way too much.

The boat; gorgeous! Loved the ease of the layout, common areas were plentiful and great for lounging and diving. Our room was well appointed (thanks for the reading light!) Beds comfortable (that is hard to find). The diving; excellent briefings – maps and dive descriptions were spot on. Dive masters extremely knowledgeable and always safety conscious! The crew; amazing, cohesive crew! Everyone made us feel like family. No one had a ‘bad’ day – everyone always smiling and happy to see us. Jerry and Debbie have an incredible relationship with the crew and it is reflected each day! Anto makes marvelous coffee! The food; fresh, beautifully presented, lots of choices. We were never left wanting and our very first liveaboard – the bar has been raised VERY HIGH! Thank you to Anto, Putu, Wayan, EVERYONE!

Thank you for your support and understanding. Debbie is a wealth of knowledge as are the crew. The boat; we have been on approx. 10 liveaboard trips in Indonesia – all top-end. However, this was the best of all of them. The cabins and cleanliness were unexpectedly good – after all we were on the boat for 12 days. The diving; overall the safety was excellent especially one dive guide per group of four. The crew; we cant indicate above ‘excellent’ or we would. All the staff were warm and friendly. The food; the selection, freshness and preparation of the food was outstanding.

Our divers ranged in experience from 20 dives to over 5,000 dives. The dive masters kept an eye on everyone and kept everyone involved to see all that each dive site had to offer. Jerry and Debbie and the rest of the crew are incredibly friendly and approachable. We haven’t been on a dive trip in 12 years, within the first dive we felt at home again. Our first liveaboard, can’t wait to come back. The boat; authentic. In great condition. Comfortable. Built for function. The diving; amazing. The crew; awesome, huge smiles from everyone every day. Everyone knew our names by the first evening. Jerry and Debbie were very approachable and got all the guests interacting as a group. The food; very good, abundant, fresh salad every day, accommodating.

After a wonderful muck night dive, with creatures galore, we were treated to hot towels, hot chocolate and a superb dinner under the stars. What a show!

I’ve been amazed at the staff and crew who anticipate and think about the needs of the divers before they think of their requirements themselves.
