Unforgettable experience
My experience on Navis 1 was unforgettable! The dives offer great variety, from wrecks, to dugongs and Apo Reef which is one of the most beautiful and richest reefs in the Philippines and really deserves a lot! Rich in animals and corals of all kinds. The dive guides were trained and the pre-dive briefings were always perfectly prepared. The crew was always friendly and helpful and the food was really delicious and always different at every meal. The ship is cozy, clean and the rooms are minimal but have all the essentials, including air conditioning and hot shower. Really a great experience!

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.

Great trip
Very good energy & vibes! Very informative on the wildlife, and the wrecks so we knew the history & characteristics of what we were seeing while diving. Friendly & welcoming staff, felt at home. Music & dinner in the evening on the top deck was beautiful. Took an advanced course on board & the instructor did a wonderful job, very attentive & thorough.

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.

I had a great time!
The dives were great, especially getting to meet the dugong! The rangers who protect them come on and explain the rules and I thought that was nice. The food was amazing and the staff was incredible. My room was comfortable enough and I left the boat with a whole bunch of new friends from around the world
