Second trip with Arenui (Raja Ampat, March 2012). This trip was great. Weather conditions created a problem, staff turned around the itinerary to create a good trip. All dives were awesome. The boat; very efficient layout. Top deck rocks! The diving; wetsuit in good condition. The crew; very helpful, friendly and nice! Great Facebook page by Debbie. The food; great food! Excellent veggies and salad.

The early part of our Komodo charter was challenging due to weather. Debbie and Jerry did an awesome job of researching where the best diving would be and getting us there. They kept the guests updated every day so everyone was informed. The crew; the divemasters worked hard to find interesting things on each dive the tender drivers were always there to pick us up when we surfaced after each dive. The stewards treat each of us like royalty. The food; the chefs are spectacular! Preparing five meals a day cant be easy and they make amazing great food every meal.

I loved the accommodation offered for all ages and diving abilities. Our dive master Wawan was so patient with my diving “issues” and raised my confidence immeasurably. I was fearful before joining the Arenui, worried that I wasn’t experienced enough for this 12 day trip. The Cruise Director heard my concerns and paired my family with a dive master who helped me in all areas of concern. By the third day my confidence (and skills) improved tremendously. By the last day I feel ready and excited to go on to Sipidan and Raja Ampat. Thank you Arenui! The boat: Beautifully designed – functional and well thought out. The diving: Great variety – I am totally satisfied we saw everything the Komodo Island cruise offered. The crew: Everyone is exceptionally well trained. They carry out tasks with no prompting, even anticipating needs. It made me feel special when everyone knew my name! The food: I loved the Indonesian food mixed with other cuisines. Healthy and well prepared.
