“Our time on Arenui was unforgettable. From flying with mantas to spotting the elusive Rhinopia to sitting on the top deck watching the sky explode with stars at night. Thank you Arenui crew! … Ali was great fun as a divemaster – knowledgeable and always smiling! All the crew were outstanding, I especially appreciated Andy’s kindness and warmth as he greeted us after the dive … We were very pleased with the Arenui experience. I especially liked that the directors took the time to discuss current environmental issues that face us today – both oceans related and those that Indonesia faces.”

“Arenui = ombak kecil. Sehingga membuat diving tripku sangat menyenangkan. Semua crew sangat ramah dan menolong sehingga diver seperti Raja.”

“There are some nice touches that I’ve only encountered on Arenui. Having a hot towel on your head and some hot chocolate after each night dive was something to look forward to. We all looked funny with a towel on our head, but we all loved it! … Everything was smooth and seamlessly run. The crew goes out of their way.”

“It’s just excellent! It is a lot of money for us but we got back more. Everything was really good and Jerry and Debbie were engaged for a really good atmosphere together with the whole crew.”

“Beeindruckend: die Tauchgruende mit lieblichen Korallen-Riffs, vielfaeltigstem Leben im Sand, abenteurlichen Stroemungen mit Haien und Mantas…. Exellent: die Guides, die Crew, das Boot mit all seinen Feinheiten, der Service und die Gourmet- Kueche…. Es fehlte uns einfach an nichts. Vielen Dank!”

“Alles auf top level. Das Schiff, die Crew, das Essen, faszinierende Tauchplaetze, von Macro bis Grossfische – und alles in absolut entspannter Athmosphaere! Paradisisch!!!”

“I was pleasantly surprised by the consistent help on the boat. The staff were always quick to get a towel, help on and off the rocky tenders, hand and dry dive equipment. The divemasters were enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The divemasters’ love of the ocean made every dive unforgettable. Thank you!! My only complaint is that all other trips now have to compare to this trip!”

“I just cannot say what I loved the most on this trip: the wildlife (we’ve seen everything form the tiniest nudi up to the majestic mants), the diving, the excellent food or the lovely crew. It was just perfect. Every morning I would go up and do my happy dance. Sadly the end of the trip came way too fast, but I will leave this paradise with a lot of great memories – thanks so much for that…. Sorry I put ‘excellent’ everywhere on the evaluation form, but that’s simply the truth, it was perfect!!”

“As a photographer every time I visit a new destination I’m looking to capture the essence and feel of the location. Our divemaster, Debbie Benton, was essential in making that happen this trip. Not only is she an accomplished photographer herself but she knew exactly where to find unique critters. She thinks like a photographer and knows her craft very well. Plus we had so much fun! It wouldn’t have been the same trip without her … Excellent surpassed expectations in every regard. The details in service were especially fantastic for a liveaboard.”

“Dive guide Wawan was a master at finding macro subjects. Exotic creatures galore. Fantastic crew and high quality service. A great way to do Komodo area. Super manta action.”
