As advertised, I highly recommend the AquaCat crew for a wonderful liveabord experience.
Need to give credit to all the crew, very attentive, everything was always on-time, no downtime or waiting around for things to get done! Very clean and very well-maintained ship, plenty or fresh water and hot water 24-7! Meals and snacks consistently exceeded expectations. Shark feeding and the occasional reef shark cruising by unannounced on subsequent dives was great! The washing machine and blue hole are must bucket list items.

The crew, boat and dive sites are all fantastic. Most of the dive sites could not have been reached if not for a liveaboard.

Came as strangers, left as friends
We had booked a long time ago, but my wife isn't a diver, so the fact that she was able to come on board and was offered a fantastic, alternative program was worth it. The whole time, from onboarding to offboarding, we had a fantastic, fun time on the AquaCat. The crew was crucial to the great atmosphere; they were always there, helpful, and courteous. As a beginner (under 50 dives), I felt completely accepted by the professionals there. The conversations with the guests and crew, who had come from almost all over the world, were exciting, informative, and informative. Life on board was very well structured, at least for the divers, but the great thing about it was that there was never a feeling of stress; it never arose. The briefings were sometimes really harsh, but they served their purpose; the divers could all get along with them, and the instructions were clearly worded, although they depended on the specific dive spot. Of course, there were highlights at the dive spots, but book it and experience it for yourself; I can't even begin to describe it here; you have to dive it. We are beyond thrilled; it was a fantastic experience on board the AquaCat with this crew and guests. You arrive as strangers and leave as friends; that's the feeling we've developed. We thank the crew of the AquaCat from the bottom of our hearts for these wonderful days with you. An experience that we will always cherish in the best, most positive memories. We say "THANK YOU"! Best regards, Sandra and Goran

An excellent adventure for the value conscious
The number and variety of dives was excellent. We had up-close and personal encounters with turtles on most of the night dives. The cadence of dives across the day was challenging, but with such an abundance of dives, it was easy to skip a few here and there without feeling any pressure.

Best dive trip EVER!
This was one of the best experiences our family has ever had. The crew was amazingly friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was spotless, service was impeccable, food was over the top and the diving was great. Really cannot complain about anything. 4-5 dives a day offered, the BEST divemasters that took great care of everyone. Had tons of knowledge of all the dive spots. The meals were gourmet. We had a fun international group of divers that have become friends, sharing a common passion of diving. Well worth every penny spent. Would highly recommend the Aquacat if you're looking for a diving adventure like none other!

A wonderful experience. Great crew & activities. More diving offered then most people can handle.
From the captain on down to the wait staff, engineer & dive masters this boat exudes a culture of customer care. My dietary needs were changed at the last minute and the chef rose to the challenge to make sure that I was accommodated despite short notice. The captain was extremely hands on and spent time caring for & getting to know every guest. The dive masters are world class divers & instructors. They were extremely helpful & very safety oriented while still allowing more experienced divers the opportunity to do their own thing. All this at a reasonable price with easy accessibility makes for a must do dive vacation.

Traveled as a single female and to my surprise there were 3 other single lady travelers as well. Being assigned a roommate was a little anxiety provoking but after unpacking we were already friends. The diving all week was superb. Food was outstanding, lots of variety and freshness. The divemasters were all excellent, they really work hard at keeping everyone safe. Dive briefings were very informative. I can’t give enough praise to all the staff. They worked hard and always had a smile and kind word to share. Can’t wait to do this again!

Luxury liveaboard diving
In the lull following the winter holidays, with the added effects of the U.S. partial govt shutdown, there were only 17 guests on-board a boat that accommodates 29. So there was lots of extra space to spread out on the dive deck, and I had a solo cabin. I've been on the Aquacat before when it was fully booked, and it was just fine, but going during a slack period is even better if you can manage it. The captain did a great job of selecting dives sites where current and other conditions were excellent. A second shark feed-- staged on the Austin Smith wreck-- was particularly enjoyable. The cabins, public spaces, dive deck, and equipment were all in great condition. Food, as always, was superb, and the chef did an outstanding job of catering to special dietary restrictions. Camera working and charging facilities on the dive deck were very good. One of the joys of liveaboard travel is getting to know interesting folks from around the world, and this trip did not disappoint. There were people from Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, Peru, Canada, and U.S., including a best-selling author and a student of marine biology who teaches juggling and tightrope-walking at circus camp.
