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!

“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.

An unforgettable experience, thanks to wonderful staff and an incredible trip!
Great dives, some great snorkel spots, food, staff, entertainment, visit to the island and gifting to the kids, good chance to have active time and chill out time, equipment all great, routines were perfectly organised. Our room was well set up with good storage space under the bed and a good bathroom, we would suggest more hooks in the room and more pegs on the sundeck as many people have a lot of stuff to dry all day. Also there is room for improvement in comfortability on the deck area, it requires deck chairs and a lounging area. The wifi was excellent in most parts of the boat. More rum in the bar needed! Thank you captain, boat and dive crew led by the experts JJ and Mimi.

First Liveaboard experience was the best we could have hoped for
Able to enjoy 18 of the 20 dives which at 73 did not exhaust us out like usual from shore based. Crew and particularly Chef surprised us with delicious food and we did not lose weight which usually happens in the Philippines as I am vegetarian. Dive guides and especially the Dive instructor was especially helpful in advanced instruction for me and helping my wife be much more comfortable with her descent and buoyancy issues that we are certain to want to return with this vessel!
