Nanette
Jerry was a fantastic divemaster, professional, helpful and non-judgmental. I feel spoiled by the pampering I received. I appreciate that the tips are shared equally. This is the first ‘group’ experience I have had when I liked everyone (all passengers). Too often there is an obnoxious and/or difficult person or two onboard. We were all different, yet very good people. I like the range of ages and backgrounds. Having the professional marine biologist onboard broadened the experience. I liked all the talks, including Debbie’s on manta rays. I truly appreciate your care for the environment. It was a joy to play games with crew and other passengers. Food: Anto was kind and helpful – I loved the napkin art.

Jerry was the ultimate divemaster (I would assume the other ones were good too from other’s comments). All staff were friendly and made me feel at home. A truly first class experience in all ways. Great attention to detail. Also the other divers/guests were a joy to be with. Educated, sophisticated, mature and worldly. I appreciated Richard’s lectures – an added benefit. Both Nanette and I appreciate ‘Eco’ tours where we learn and enjoy the experience.

Guys, thank you very much for the lovely experience. You work together like a puzzle, that’s why you see our happy faces. Will miss you.

Seriously … I have zero complaints. Everyone and everything is appreciated. The way the dive groups were put together was outstanding! We began this trip with such apprehension as we’d heard such great stories and thought the trip couldn’t live up to our expectations. It did, plus some. The reef explodes with life and some of it is rare. If you think you’ve “done it all” you have not until you’ve done Raja Ampat on the Arenui.

A fantastic trip. Thank you to everyone for making it so.
