The diving on this liveaboard trip was absolutely amazing and truly the highlight of the experience. Every dive was well planned, beautiful, and memorable. The crew went above and beyond to make sure guests felt supported, safe, and taken care of throughout the trip, and their dedication really showed.
The food deserves special recognition—it was incredible, plentiful, and consistently exceeded expectations. A standout was Megan, who took extra time and care to guide less experienced participants on dives that were appropriate and comfortable for their experience level. Her patience, professionalism, and attentiveness made a huge difference and helped build confidence underwater.
That said, the boat itself was clearly showing its age. The cabins and hallways had a persistent, unpleasant odor, and the overall condition of the vessel felt tired and in need of significant renovation. While it didn’t detract from the quality of the diving or the crew’s efforts, it did impact overall comfort onboard and experience.
In summary, this trip delivered exceptional diving, an outstanding crew, and fantastic food—but the aging condition of the boat holds it back from being a truly top-tier liveaboard experience.
