“Beautiful ship, beautiful people and a very memorable experience. The crew – loved having my own, personal dive master, even stayed with me when I was the only one in my group diving – I don’t mean “babysitting” – I mean personal attention to my dive style and interests. Great personal service. (NB. Divemaster was Wawan.) Bayu was the perfect steward too! The food – I usually lose weight on dive trips, not this one!”

The diving – loved breaking the groups up into smaller groups – made diving more relaxed. The crew – loved our dive master Wawan – adorable! Great spotter and knowledgeable about the things he found. We had such fun together! Sweet infectious personality! But everyone was terrific, the crew made the trip extraordinary.”

“This boat is great but the Cruise Directors and crew are even better. Best critter diving I’ve ever done. The crew – every single person working on board this boat is absolutely first rate.”
Sara
“The crew – we have never been cared for and pampered by a crew like on this trip. The food – we had eight nights of restaurant dining. Just wonderful.”
Ann
“The service of the crew was outstanding. The crew – Ali was excellent – showed us many things and actually wrote (on slate pad) names of each.”
Steve
“This staff and crew put you at the ultimate comfort level! The diving experience is without equal. Arenui’s select dive masters ensure that you miss nothing regardless of whether you have made 50 or 5,000 dives. This has to be the very best way to see the Pacific from the diver’s perspective. The crew – Wonderful staff all around! Ali, my divemaster, was exceptional, displayed warm enthusiasm and superior knowledge, as did all of the crew and staff. Jerry and Debbie are the greatest! The food – gourmet all the way!! And to do it with such a small galley!”
Barbara
“As dive boats go – this is a jewel. It was a thrill to dive Komodo, see the dragons and meet some old and make some new friends. Life on a liveaboard brings out the best and worst – feel this tended to the BEST of us all. The boat – beautifully appointed. The crew – always ready and willing to help. The food – Excellent choices and beautiful presentation.”
Liza
“The best liveaboard experience! I have never felt so safe and taken care of underwater thanks to our dive master Tobi and the crew. They made diving an effortless beautiful experience. The food was absolutely incredible and I was in awe of the amount of veggies I could eat J Debbie and Jerry were both funny, caring, informative and great people overall to be around. The staff was equally gracious to attending all of our needs. The crew – amazing Tobi! The food – best ever in a liveaboard.”
