An unforgettable crew and dives
The cruise offers a wide variety of dives between wrecks, reefs and unusual places (Dugong, freshwater lake). The activities organized on board allow us to have a good time beyond diving. The crew is cheerful, friendly and warm. The chef's cuisine is delicious and allows us to taste several Filipino dishes. There is everything you need on the boat to prepare for diving, relax on the sundeck and watch the sunset.

Exceptional Hospitality, Experience, and Value
I have been on many Liveaboards (>20). This is by far at the top of the tree of any of those! You will eat delicious food and experience some of the best diving the Philippines has to offer. You will feel the hospitality from the moment you are greeted, with a sense of community on board and camaraderie. Smiles and friendship flow readily and easily from everyone involved. Apo Reef was on fire! Play the "Marine Life Bingo" and tick off the 25 "big list" items shown in photographs in rows on the boat's wall - we found 21! First to get 5 in a row gets free drinks for the night! Learn a little bit more via excellent presentations about fish and creatures that you may not possibly have known! Brief and informative, I loved these pre dive presentations (thanks Sean!). On board there's as much fun as you can imagine. Totally down to earth Owner (Travis) and Crew. Big shout out to our knowledgeable guides "J.J." and the impressive and humble Instructor, Sean. Their knowledge, dive briefings, and outstanding care and safety underwater, (not to mention brilliant spotting for wildlife!) will have you captivated and anticipating every dive. Relax topside after an amazing day's diving on the expansive top deck with uninterrupted views of Palawan. Breathtakingly beautiful, watch the sun go down over the verdant and rugged hills with a nice cold drink whilst feasting on (yet another) hearty and delicious Dinner. If you are lucky, you may even get a song or two from one of the sweetest voices a very talented crew person - but that's up to her! That Lady can really sing! Big schools of Barracuda. Sharks. Turtles. Giant Trevally. Mantas. Sea Snakes. Octopus. Tuna. Jacks. Big Stuff. Small Stuff. Irresistible critters and Night dives. Amazing kaleidoscope of corals bursting with health and vitality. Day dives, morning dives, and Night dives! And WWII Wrecks!!! Where else can you experience all this but in the amazing Philippines? And this Liveaboard will take you there. Thanks for a great trip, I will be back for sure. Pete, DM.

Top-Notch Diving and Hospitality All the Way
“Had an incredible time on this liveaboard. The crew was warm, attentive, and made sure we were well taken care of from start to finish — from safe, well-briefed dives to bringing us to the best sites each day. The food was a standout, with every meal delicious and thoughtfully prepared. Cabins were basic but consistently clean and comfortable, which was all we needed between dives. We also loved meeting fellow divers from around the world and sharing unforgettable moments underwater. Would happily recommend this experience to anyone considering it.

Absolutely stunning experience
Staff again! Sean is the absolute perfect instructor, has advanced knowledge, made learning so much fun! Always respectful, exceeds expectations for CARE of guests, Mimi, the boat manager, took care of us till last detail, puts her heart in everything she does, treated us like family, never seen her face without a smile! All staff is discreet but were always there to offer a hand in any occasion needed! From equipment setup, to general inquiries, assistance throughout the trip was something unseen 🥰 Boat is comfortable, rooms have just enough space and a lovely big window with ocean views! Clean and neat, A/C runs very well all day, if u choose so. Lovely dining area, briefing lounge with great ambience and big screen where staff were displaying dive sight maps and other informative videos! Plenty of food, mostly local style, so if you love Asian cuisine will be your best! Equipment in great condition and plenty of spare options if needed, the staff will take great care of any of your requests. Diving is absolutely amazing, especially wrecks are something exceptional! Visibility was great all the way! Didn’t face much issues with currents. Boat is in great condition, some minor improvements that could be made so far are taken well cared by the staff, the rest are always noted by them to be developed by operators. Fully recommended trip to do, will be an unforgettable life experience! Would 100% come back!

A liveaboard with happy memories
First of all, the staff were all very nice. He always took great care to make me feel comfortable, and he always helped me kindly with a smile, so I think my liveaboard life was fine. The diving at Apoleaf was also good, and at first it was a pity that there was a lot of air left because I adjusted the air consumption of the people in the same group, but when I talked to the master of this part, he immediately adjusted the group, so it was good to always dive for more than 60 minutes after that. I couldn't say that the overall condition of the boat was good, but the hot water came out well when I took a shower, the air conditioner came out well (although it was noisy), and I was satisfied with the quality of the meal so much that I didn't eat any of the cup noodles even though I brought them. And I was surprised that the wifi was faster than I expected. It was my first liveaboard and I made a lot of good memories.
