Good re-entry into diving post-covid
I had some trouble on this trip - a bit of a mental block. But the dive guides helped me work through it. It could have gone very badly and instead I was able to overcome my issues and enjoy diving. That wouldn't happen on every boat. Also, I went for mantas and saw them. I never had so many of them get so close to me before.

Epic Trip!
Every dive delivered amazing experiences and encounters thanks to Gabriel, Maria, Ali and Rich. The boat crew was friendly, entertaining and enjoyable to socialize with. Manta Ray night dive was a dream alongside encounters with variety of sharks and rays. Dive guides were most professional, safe and led a phenomenal adventure. Would dive with this boat and crew again!!

Professional guides, great diving, ok boat
Great diving and not a bad boat. Our cabin was not as nice as some of the others in the same category, so a bit of inconsistencies. Guides are professional. Be prepared to dive with strong currents
