Thank you very much for a fabulous holiday/vacation experience in a very unique part of the world. We really appreciate the effort it takes to run a highly sophisticated dive operation in remote locations. Providing first class luxury and great food to go along with the unique journey location has provided us with very special memories! Diving: Banda Islands to Ambon trip. Very unique opportunity to dive remote locations in first class luxury. Crew: all personnel were very skilled and highly professional tending to their tasks. Each crew member was continually helping each other out – very rewarding to see the team work and camaraderie amongst all crew members.

The crew could not be more accommodating. Attention to detail exceptional. Dive briefing very helpful as were maps. Without question you feel well taken care of throughout your voyage. Thank you for a great time!

We really appreciated the service and attentive assistance to diving seniors that made our diving a true pleasure, not a chore. It enabled us to feel safe and well looked after so we can continue our love of diving at ages 73 and 81. Thank you! Boat: showers – water temperature and pressure very variable. Diving: water in tenders after dives was very welcome. Crew: can’t be beat! Food: Anto and Kadek provided outstanding service – with a great sense of humour.

Great job! I loved it that you treated the snorkelers the same way as divers. Although I’m a diver, the stories of what the snorkelers saw was always a treat. Maybe I’ll bring my girlfriend (a non-diver) with me next time! Crew: as with my past 2 trips with the Arenui, the staff is incredible. Food: outstanding!

Another awesome trip! Nothing like Arenui for service, hospitality, fun and especially unique diving. Ronald has been our divemaster for all of our 3 trips – have been diving 31 years – he is the best!!

Never been on a liveaboard so small yet so large! Special thanks to Anto! His amazing sense of humour will forever be part of Arenui stories!

I have enjoyed every day of the trip. Debbie and Jerry were the perfect hosts and had extensive knowledge of the dive sites. I’m already thinking about my next trip on the Arenui. Diving: dive sites were incredible!!
