Unforgettable moments on board and underwater.
Super nice guides and very tasty food. Very good dive sites were approached and not always only the top spots, so we were almost always the only divers underwater. Nevertheless, very great dive sites and many large and small animals.

Amazing first liveaboard experience
Beautiful dive sites, friendly and experienced dive guides and crew, basic but comfortable accommodations. Itineraries were well planned and day trips to the beaches were great. Grouping of divers according to experience level was perfect. Food was delicious and dive equipment were well maintained. Overall a fantastic trip with new friends made and memories that will last a lifetime. Highly recommended!

Highlight of my trip
I had an amazing time. I was hesitant to go because I was travelling alone but there was a good mix of people travelling alone and in groups. There were people of all ages and experiences on board as well. I am not sure why they tell you to bring snacks - there is an abundance of food and snacks on board. The food is delicious too. The crew was amazing as well, they helped us gear up and even helped us put on our fins etc and they filled the tanks up generously. Everything ran smoothly. The cabins are modest but for the price paid they are ok (if you ever stay in hostels a quad room should be ok for you). The guides were professional as well, showing us all the fish and other species. Some were more and some less interactive with the divers, but all were professional. Tpecially nice, you can see that he is veperienced and has a passion for the ocean and marine life. Some dives were great, in some the visibility could be better but that is nature. The crew did the best they could each time :)

The highlight of my 6 weeks trip
It was my first liveaboard and it exceeded my expectations. The diving guides were amazing, very friendly, funny and in a very good mood all the time (thanks Josu, Pablo, Alex, Mayumi and Tam). The diving places were really good. We got to see a lot of things underwater, including mating octopuses, sharks, seahorses and a turtle that literally swam with us for 3 mins. The islands are very beautiful too. The food was just amazing, the chef would make everything from fish and chips to pasta carbonara and traditional Thai soups. And every thing was better than the previous one! The capitan and the rest of the boat crew are really nice too. I would totally do it again when I can!!!
