Comprehensive approach to deliver a good and also safe experience for the guests from pickup from hotel to drop off at airport
Cathedral Cave dive, variety of dives, nice mix with welcome drink, BBQ on the beach, land excursions, sight seeing and cocktail reception towards the end. What was a nice touch was the dedicated tunes for wake up, dive briefing, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The whole organization works like clockwork.

Awesome Trip to Tubbataha with Solitude One
The boat is fantastic, very spacious and offers all a diver heart is looking for. A professional crew provides first class service, pampers you and reads every wish from your eyes. We got 5 meals a day, which was delicious and also the cabin was excellent. Last but not least, the Diving was great. Conclusion: the best LiveAboard Trip we had and we sure come back for an other tour with Solitude One

Great diving from a large ship
Everything went according to plan. Of a maximum of 22 divers, there were only 14 of us. We had lots of room on the anyway spacious vessel. The cruise is very well organized, the dive guides are helpful and knowledgable. There are two dive boats (called "skiffs"), your gear stays on these boats all the time, and all dives are done from these boats. The cruise was around full moon, and we were lucky to witness the red snapper spawning, as well as mantas at cleaning stations, and feeding. Many, many sharks around, even bull sharks and hammerheads. Plus a lot of turtles. On one night, there is a BBQ (already prepared by the crew beforehand) on the beach of Ulong Island (you are there less than 2 hours, which is a bit short). On the last day, there is a visit to Jellyfish lake (snorkling only). Everything is included, except alcohol ($3 can of beer, $30 bottle of wine). Remember that you have to pay additional $210 for permits/fees and $135 for Nitrox (which everybody used) on board.

Fantastic!!
That was a great highlight! The crew was incredibly friendly and attentive and fulfilled every request. The cabins were spacious and the bed really comfortable. The food was typical of the country, even vegans were well catered for. On the last evening there was a cocktail reception on the sun deck.

Excellent trip - diving was great and crew was very attentive!
Parrot fish spawning several days before the new moon. Blue Corner did not disappoint. Lots of sharks. Mantas at German channel. Cleaning stations galore for all types and species of fish. Remarkably healthy reefs. Boat was spacious and well accommodated. Cruise directors paid extreme attention to detail right down to the bbq on the beach the last night. Diving was so much better from the Liveaboard than from land (I did both). Much easier, much shorter commutes to dive sites (shaving off >45 min at times), more attentive dive guides, and importantly more relaxing dives. Large diversity of dives - corners, walls/drop offs, channels, shallow and deep dives, spectacular caves/swim throughs, wrecks and even bump head parrot fish spawning before the new moon!
