Fabulous dive guide (Wawan) – always felt safe and was encouraged to dive in sites that I may have skipped otherwise. Also he’s fun and curious as we are. Debbie and Jerry how do we even express just how amazing you two are? Hospitality, efficiency, fun to be with – you two are the whole package! We would follow you to any boat you choose to work on. Jerry has saved our asses repeatedly. We love you both and are so very grateful to have “cruised” with you twice!

Wir haben uns super betreut gefuhlt. Der Trip war perfekt, wir haben alles gesehen, was wir uns vorgestellt haben. Der neue Tauchplatz unter dem Jetty Pertamina war sensationell und einer meiner besten Tauchgange :o) Das Boot, das Tauchen, die Crew, das Essen, alles war perfekt! [We felt very well look after.

This was the 2nd liveaboard I’ve done (other was in Belize). This one was superior in quality, customer focus and friendliness of the crew. Boat: Accommodations were excellent and well maintained. Bed and sofas were comfortable and the sundeck was great after dives. Diving: All excellent. I very much appreciated being able to use some fins when my fin strap broke. The crew was very quick to get me something I could use within minutes. Crew: All excellent. Everyone was very friendly and very good at what they do – you could see the pride they take in their work. Big thanks to Ronald for keeping and making me feel safe in the water. Food: All excellent. I was very happy with the food and the attentiveness of the stewards – always friendly and interested in helping. I have rarely been as well taken care of. Well done!

Everything was amazing! Couldn’t ask for anything more for our honeymoon. Thank you so much for taking care of Melissa. She was very disappointed not to be able to dive (pregnant), but still had a great trip. Always take your camera because the one dive you don’t is the one dive you find a blue ring octopus! Diving: Loved El Toro, Hot Rocks, Batu Bolong, Manta Alley and all the others. Amazing diversity and amazing diving!!! Crew: Lisa was the best divemaster I have ever had. So enthusiastic and happy to be underwater!!! All the crew was amazing. I really enjoyed Kadek and Anto in the salon. All questions and issues were answered immediately. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Food: All the food was great. Especially liked garlic pork, sweet and sour chicken sliders. Fried noodles were great. Great selection and variation. Loved the food carving by Putu!
