Wonderful experience! Thank you so much! I love to see the crew interacting with each other – they obviously love each other. I love that they are so friendly with us too. Boat: I like the tables with edges and baskets to hold things! Diving: Briefings were good! And informative! I appreciate that there were no “surprises”. Beautiful, beautiful reefs. Crew: Lisa was a fantastic guide, love her sense of humor! Kept us safe and well informed. Kadek and Anto were GREAT – attentive, funny, friendly. Captain kept me company one day on the sky deck, which I appreciated. Food: Glad you have vegetarian menu! Enjoyed all the food! Thanks to Putu for the sculptures!

Great diving! Crew was very knowledgeable about dive sites and marine life. We both enjoyed the cold water dives and abundance of small critters. WE WILL BE BACK!! For another adventure! Thanks to all the behind the scenes guys taking care of our tanks and dive gear! Great job!

We boarded the boat with high expectations due to the website and testimonials. Our expectations were far exceeded. The Arenui is something that cannot be explained only experienced. I look forward to diving with you again. There has been nothing more we could ask for. Boat: All was perfect as promised. Diving: Good balance of “high energy” and easy dives. Crew: Lisa and G bring great energy and comfort to entire trip. Wawan is by far the best divemaster I have ever had the pleasure of diving with. We can have great food and accommodation anywhere but Wawan is what I will be back for. Food: Great choices, good flavoring.

The operation lived up to and exceeded expectations! We waited 3 years for this trip and it was PERFECT in every way! Delightful! Relaxing! Exhilarating! Dinner in the Sky Restaurant area was always incredible. Sitting around after dinner when they turned out the lights so we could enjoy the starry sky was a great way to end each day. I also loved the sunset dives. When it became evident that the majority of the group was too tired to stay awake for night dives then dinner – they adjusted the itinerary so we had earlier sunset dives and they turned out to be everyones favorites! Boat: BEAUTIFUL boat! We LOVED the wood and the ambience. Clearly the staff took great care to keep everything clean and orderly – but it was always behind the scenes. Diving: The crew knew the sites very well. I enjoyed the sites we repeated because there was so much life and variety. Tenders were amazing at staying right with the groups when we surfaced. We REALLY appreciated being able to dive the southern area even though it wasn´t on the itinerary. Crew: Everyone was friendly and very professional. The teamwork was fantastic. Every crew member learned all the guests names and preferences. They were completely attentive and ready to help at all times, 10 stars!!! They were also kind to each other, which made it very pleasant for everyone. Food: Gained weight! Food was so delicious it was difficult not to overeat!!

Lisa and G, please keep in touch. It was so nice to meet you and I would love to stay in touch.

Thank you! It was WONDERFUL. Food: Really liked the diversity and freshness of food.
