Could not have gotten a better crew. They are all gems. Diving: Great briefings. Very informative and elaborate. Hat off to the Cruise Directors for that. Crew: everybody is wonderful. They all have a smile on their face all the time, they were friendly, extremely helpful, charming, warm, etc. I could go on for hours, but bottom line: I love them all. Special mention: Wawan is the warmest, more charming, smiling and helpful dive guide I have had the pleasure to experience (love eagle eyes). Food: Products were always fresh, there was always plenty of food and everything tasted wonderful.

Lisbeth and Arthur
Diving: we especially enjoyed the mandarinfish dive, daytime muck dives, Manta Sandy. Cape Kri was outstanding. Crew: Ronald was wonderful at finding tiny, cryptic creatures. He quickly figured out what our dive group was most interested in, and made sure everyone had a chance to see. Food: Loved barbecue night. Breakfasts were consistently very good. Always more than enough to eat.
Joan
The crew: Cruise Directors: best on any liveaboard we have been (out of 7). Lisa and G were highly engaged at all times, extremely well organized, very industrious and creative in ensuring that the whale shark search was successful, and most importantly had a great sense of humor. Wawan was a great divemaster, always attentive and anticipating our needs and always looking for sea creatures that we would miss. He has a great personality and was really fun to interact with. All staff were EXCELLENT. I specially appreciated Anto and Kadek who were so attentive to our needs, Anto is very special!

Best trip ever! Thanks to the creativity, flexibility and communication skills with the Indonesian fishermen we got to swim with 3 whalesharks for a very long time, awesome! I liked the atmosphere among the whole team, they all were a wonderful TEAM. Diving with Jose wonderful. Lisa and G more than excellent and so cheerfully. We did Triton thanks to the decision of the Cruise Directors, great!
