Amazing
The crew on the boat and the ease of diving. I have two total knee replacements and there was always a helping hand when I got on and off the tender. You are also able to take your gear off before getting on the tender which makes it so much easier and enjoyable. The crew was amazing. They anticipated your needs and were always consistent. The food and rooms were great. I don't have any complaints. The cabins are spacious and have full size showers and air conditioning. They are checked twice a day by the staff to make up your beds and tidy up things. Towards the end of our voyage, we had a BBQ and the crew entertained us with music and songs. The diving was exceptional. The reefs and abundance of fish life are amazing. The Dive Masters were very knowledgeable and familiar with the dive sites. The staff brought my camera up to the dive deck and put it fresh water after every dive. There is an amazing camera room that is cool with plenty of space. I needed a new O Ring and one of the crew members was happy to change it for me

We're thrilled to hear you had such an incredible time exploring Indonesia, both above and below the water. It’s especially great to hear how attentive the crew was throughout your trip, from lending a helping hand getting on and off the tender to taking care of your camera after each dive and even helping with that O-ring. Those thoughtful details can make such a difference, and we're glad that level of care showed throughout your trip! We'll be sure to share your kind words with the team. Exceptional diving, great food, comfortable cabins, and a BBQ complete with music and songs from the crew sounds like a pretty fantastic way to spend a week!
