We have had a spectacular adventure with all of you on the Arenui. You have set the bar for liveboards right out of the gate – very high quality. Our dive master Ali was tops and together with the support team on the boat all were attentive, helpful and fun to be with. Even the room boys pitched in – and in multiple roles. The captain and the crew kept us on course while the chefs made us gain weight. The meals were so delicious and the presentation was ‘wow’ each and every night. Our incredible stewards Anto and Bayu remembered us from the beginning, didn’t mix up orders and made us fell like part of a family. Debbie and Jerry provided all the glue and grease holding everything together and making it slide easily along. They demonstrated an in-depth knowledge of the boat and dive region and flexibility in meeting the demands of the weather and the group. They made our trip flawless as we floated along. Thanks to all of you.

I cannot return soon enough! The perfect blend of flexible, yet very well run and organised operation. My dive buddy had an accident and could not make the trip with me. However, I never felt odd or strange being on my own. Everyone was so wonderful and I had an amazing experience. The diving – there is not another place like Indonesia. I was so impressed! The crew – an absolutely fantastic cast of characters. You could tell that each and every person loved their jobs and were like a family. What a wonderful selection of people that truly made a team. The food – like dining in a five star restaurant each night!

The boat – beautiful boat and excellent facilities! Safe, comfortable, clean and very well decorated. Attention to detail is amazing. Also we can notice how well maintained it is. The diving – amazing experience! Beautiful location. The crew – it’s clear that the success of Arenui is the combination of a beautiful boat, amazing dive sites and wonderful food. But what really stands out is the crew. They continually go above and beyond to ensure we are having the best possible experience. Courteous, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful are a few of the words that can describe how wonderful their team is! Definitely keepers! The food – Putu and his team are geniuses! The best menu selection we have had in many years!
