Great trip to a fantastic place aboard a very friendly and intimate boat!
This was our first live aboard and the Cat Ppalu was a great introduction to this type of travel. The exams are a fantastic destination for a broad variety of sea life and underwater topography. The crew was awesome and Bill the captain couldn't have been a better leader and host!

Intimate experience on a small boat with small but capable crew. Sense of camaraderie with other guests. Great knowledge of the captain.

Fantastic crew & diving, ok boat :)
Sharks, gorgeous walls, beautiful coral gardens, super friendly crew.
Recommended for
You’ll love the diving, the sites are beautiful, with pristine coral gardens, walls and plenty of marine life. The crew is also fantastic and takes really great care of you. With that in mind, the boat cabins, while comfortable, were very noisy simply due to the architecture of the boat, and even with earplugs, it’s tough to sleep well most nights.
