What an amazing experience. We had a bunk and shared bathroom which was perfect. The guides and the diving you couldn't fault! Overall I can't wait to next year to going on the same boat. I've dived on a lot of liveaboards and this was far the best experience.

We loved it, and want to do it again!
Our highlights was to be able to upgrade our diving skills to advanced certificate in such a great way: with awesome dives, knowledgeable instructors, whilst visiting great dive sites. We saw a leopard shark, fantastic reefs and corals and tons of beautiful fish, as well as enjoying fun times onboard. We have never tried liveaboard before, and now we definitely want to do it again!

Beginning of a passion liveaboard
We enjoyed the time on board very much, even though only 8 nights and not 13 nights were possible due to the weather conditions. We were also lucky enough to have been the only boat at Richelieu Rock for a whole day and thus 4 unforgettable dives. A great diving area, for us the first liveaboard and not the last!
