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.

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.

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!

Wow!
My wife and I did the 8 day trip. I would recommend it to anyone serious about seeing as much of Philippines diving in one journey as possible. It's pretty intensive, but also very satisfying and exiting. The bed was comfortable, and the cabins have private bathrooms that could use a little TLC, but they are clean. The boat being multihull is quite spacious in the shared areas and functions well for it's new purpose. It just needs a little spiffing up as it is relatively new to this role. Pricing is very reasonable. It did meet all of our expectations. The staff are wonderful, I could name a couple that stand out but I don't want to take away from the whole excellent team. The food is excellent and the chef takes great care to keep everyone well fed. Thank you all for a great trip!

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.
