Anywhere Arenui goes, I am sure to love. All dive sites are well-vetted for our groups interests and dive skill levels. The crew really understands their guests and strives to make the experience great. Crew: What an incredible experience! Any time I THOUGHT I wanted something, someone would offer it. “Full service” indeed.

Boat: All excellent. Beautiful boat kept in pristine order by hard working Cruise Directors and crew. Diving: All excellent. Always kept up to date which dive site we were going to, good briefings with easy to understand diagrams. Every effort to make sure easy to get in and out of the tender. All excellent dive sites and great variety. Very fortunate to go to Triton Bay. Crew: All excellent. Both Lisa and G made every effort to make sure each guest was looked after and willingly attended to every request. Both full of enthusiasm and kindness. All the Divemasters try very hard to please each guest and always willing and informative. Because of the distance covered every member of the crew worked extremely hard and always smiling and friendly. The stewards both always attentive and good humored. Anto and Kadek are real assets as are all the crew. Food: All excellent. First class food all the time with plenty of choices, all good, so difficult to select. More than enough food through the whole day. Very hard working chef and his assistants.

Boat: All excellent. Everything is very organized. The routine is never boring, instead it helps not having to “worry” about anything. Diving: All aspects of the diving was beyond compare. The heroes are the tender drivers, who obviously are so talented, patient, observant and concerned about safety. Divemasters were great at putting us in protected areas. That is important to me. Crew: All crew were amazing in their respective roles. I know there were crew members we probably only saw a few times but they were integral in the overall operation of daily activities – day and night. Food: Service, variety and quantity were all perfect. Thanks to galley and restaurant crew alike!

This is our third time on board, and second time in a year. The crew all were extra friendly and familiar – it was like we’d never left. Just a great trip, all around.

Thank you for the extra work. Crew: BEST CARE ANYWHERE! As always the crew met every need almost before we knew what we wanted! Food: Spectacular.

Just wonderful. The night dives were a special treat. So many amazing things to see under the water … then to emerge to brilliant stars with a clear view of the milky way! Bio-luminescence all around. And the piece de la resistance, a warm towels and hot cocoa handed to you as you arrive back to the boat. Heaven.
