I have nothing bad to say about the crew, the boat or the diving. Outstanding job all around – expensive but worth every cent. I will be back! The diving: The trip was exploratory in some areas and the crew all did a great job. The crew: This is the best and most team-orientated crew I have ever seen. Everyone works hard and is a pleasure to be around and are first-rate in their own right. FANTASTIC.

Debbie and Jerry are the best Cruise Directors I’ve even met and had the pleasure to dive with. The entire crew has always been the most attentive, caring crew I’ve experienced. Thank you for the amazingly high standards that the crew always aspires to and achieves. I experienced the most exciting, adrenaline filled dive of my life on “A Bit Far Rock”, a new dive site to the “Forgotten Islands”. Dive master Ungke and I hit the top of the rock in a swarm of trevallies, dogfish tuna, pyramid butterflyfish, fusiliers, eagle rays and gray reef sharks. The schools were actually streaming around us, almost touching us for an amazing several minutes. I will remember this dive always. Thank you Ungke! The crew; outstanding stewards, dive masters and Cruise Directors. I always appreciate Jerry’s advice and encouragement in my photography.

I would go anywhere on this boat! A real bonus to this trip was going to the active volcano, Komba. The evening hours were filled with the anticipation of the erupting volcano, the backdrop of a full red moon and the camaraderie of newly found friends. A truly magical and memorable night! The boat: Cabin was kept very clean and comfortable. Restaurant areas had ample space for everyone and kept very tidy. Sky lounge was particularly nice with the shade tarp up. Dive prep area was well organized. Very easy living! The diving: Destinations and dive sites were well planned. Briefings were thorough with nice illustrations. I always felt safe and tenders were constantly close by. The crew: The whole crew seemed very happy and cohesive. Excellent attitude from everyone. Crew anticipated everyone’s needs with care. Dive master was very attentive and excellent at finding critters! (Ungke) I learned a lot! Very, very nice people. The food: We certainly would not go hungry! Food was fresh and varied. Great flavours. Croissants were yummy!

I wasn’t sure how we would fit in as we are in our first year of diving and this was also our first liveaboard trip. The dive masters, crew and staff are excellent and helped keep us comfortable and the diving was our best to date!
