Just great and suuuper organized!! I'll be back!

It was my first live delegation and I'll definitely do it again.The whole crew took great care of it. It was VERY clean and also the food was good.In terms of value for money, I only give 3 stars because I paid a lot because I wanted to use one cabin individually. That could possibly be Even better, especially when the boat is not full.And Raja Ampath is really the king's territory! I recommend everyone to go on safari there, you see the most.

Some epic dives with great food!

This is a big, modern boat with large rooms and good sized en suites. As you’d expect the diving is well organised with kit loaded onto tenders - so super easy. The food is good and there was plenty of it - I gained 2kg! All the staff were helpful and super friendly. Given the cost you might expect free wifi, 15l tanks, nitrox etc but you’re charged for everything. As a solo traveller I was surprised I wasn’t allowed to use one of the free rooms. I was told I’d have to pay a single person supplement if I wanted my own room.

would do this trip again but during different time of year

We experienced 2 storms. This itinerary may be better during a different time of the year. However, the pristine diving in Una Una and Batu Gong were exceptional. The dive site "fish-o-mania" had over an estimated 1 million fish--remarkable! The dive masters assisted with those that needed help with current diving--which was appreciated! Staff was friendly and very helpful with anything we needed.
