Crew is always smiling and alert. Good boss makes great crew. Will definitely recommend divers to try Arenui or they will never know what a real liveaboard is like. Thank you for a great trip. In one of our dives one of the diver’s high pressure hose burst at about 80ft. Wawan our divemaster turned around and rushed toward her, gave her his octopus and signaled for her to calm down. The diver was a very experienced diver and was very calm. We felt so safe diving with Wawan as he is very alert and caring and he is also very good at spotting small creatures underwater and patient too! Thank you Wawan. The crew – very good team work. Good bunch of people. Cruise directors are kind and caring and willing to give some good advice on taking photos underwater and I got some great pictures as a first timer, thank you Kerri and Hurgen. The food – meat and fish dishes were cooked just right, pantry and cakes and dessert are very good. Better than many restaurant food, getting fat!

The boat – best dive boat ever, no doubt. The food and the rooms are eons above any other boat. The diving – will be back to Indonesia, for sure – amazing. The crew – the crew lovely. Kerri and Hurgen were tops! Altogether a wonderful group. The food – delicious, more than I would ever have expected.

There are several dive destinations in the world, but one of the most spectacular adventures is right here on the Arenui, in Indonesia. My ‘normal’ day onboard would start with yoga on the sky lounge. After fresh fruits and coffee, go for an ocean swim on the reefs, then a dive with manta rays just before lunch. In the afternoon headed for kayaking and enjoyed a balancing oil massage before the formal four course dinner. It’s easy to get used to because it feels energizing and relaxing at the same time, on the most beautiful dive boat I’ve ever been on. Thank you! The crew – the crew could not have been more attentive and professional. The dive crew is exceptionally knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They did a great job pairing the right buddies in groups, based on their skills.

This was my first liveaboard experience and it was hard to do better – everyone was super. It is a team that took care of us which made for a good trip – keep up the good work. The crew – the entire team was thoughtful and helpful – superior knowledge of the fish and how to find them.

Our first liveaboard and we loved it. Thanks for making sure we were safe and happy at all times. The crew – fantastic team! Made our trip fun and always insured we were content with all. Wouldn’t change anything.

This was our first liveaboard and we are now hooked! It will be hard (if not impossible) for other liveaboards to measure up in the future. Really hope we can get booked on an upcoming Raja Ampat cruise. Swimming with the manta rays was just amazing and the highlight of the trip. Can’t wait to cruise again with you all! The boat – cabins were great. The crew were just great!
