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.

Such amazing people running this boat.
Comfortable room, happy, helpful, positive people running the entire operation. I loved that I could ask anyone about something and they would find the answer for me.

The boat was relaxing and the diving was excellent.
Every single dive was excellent, but for me Blue Corner, German Channel, and Ulong Channel stood above the rest. How the crew organized the whole trip made everything so easy and relaxing from our wake up call to the dive briefings to gearing up to eating. And the food was, to say the least, excellent! Every meal exceeded all my expectations.

World-class diving experience
The one, and only one thing that Solitude One does not do well is advertising itself. The ship is Directed by Alfonso and Silvia who truly understand the business of diving vacations. You can tell by details provided with each dive experience: very detailed dive briefings with pictures, boat assignments, hot tea available after dives, hot or cold wet towels as you return to the main boat after each dive ... the list goes on. Pair that with nicely sized cabins, great food, a camera/computer room, and you have the makings of a truly 5-star diving vacation. My wife and I will highly recommend to our friends!
