The boat. I had plenty of room to suit up. Sky Lounge is a really good place to retreat between dives. Restaurant area fits everyone. Plenty of plugs available for cameras, light & phones. Boat was always clean. Food & Beverage: I took full advantage of the sodas & juices on board. Ronald was excellent as dive master but all helped out. Mario and Kadek took care of every request. Cabin were cleaned and beds made without us being aware – one of the unsung heroes that made the experience well worth cruising again. I can’t say how much I appreciated the help the Tender crew gave.’

This is the BEST crew. I really like the cruise directors. The dive masters are the best. This is a very hard working and attentive crew. We were on the boat in October 2017. The Cruise directors made this a fun trip.

The boat: excellent! Room was very clean and tons of room for clothes and storage. Food was amazing. All crew was so nice and professional. This is my second time on the Arenui and quality is top-notch. I had Ronald and he was very good and showed us so many critters. I did the Forgotten Islands two years ago. I would like to dive again to a different destination. Thank you ‘all’ for being so kind and happy. Much love to you.

It was all excellent! Lots of wonderful prepared meals. Excellent Menu! The crew: All well trained and excellent in their work. Dive masters watched us closely for safety concerns. Wonderful tenders got us back to boat quickly – excellent! Wonderful boat, crew, program and diving. I couldn’t have asked for any more! Thanks!

The Arenui is such an amazing vessel! We loved it! You can tell it was built with love!! Mario & Kadek are so nice! They anticipated our wants/needs even before we did!!
Crew: Fabulous!! All seemed to really enjoy their work and were very kind! We loved it here!!
Beautiful dives! One wish would be that the dive masters attended the briefings as they were a bit different dives than were briefed sometimes.

Awesome boat. Amazing crew! Loved it! Very special once in a lifetime vacation! Food was amazing. It was like dining at a 5 star restaurant every day (and I am very picky). Great crew! Special thank you to Fahmi, amazing dive guide. Mario & Kadek they do everything before I even asked and always with a smile and to chefs for awesome food. Wish we saw Mantas at Manta Alley and spent a bit more time observing Komodo Dragons. Otherwise, amazing trip with outstanding crew and delicious food. Thank you!
