Comments	Arenui is a new liveaboard. The cabins are 5 star hotel rooms with big bathrooms and showers that allow you to wash yourself without bumping your head, elbows and knees everytime you blink. Even during night navigation, the boat is surprisingly quiet. The boat is very stable even in rougher seas. Service on-board is extremely friendly, pro-active and leaves little or nothing to desire. Five star! The lounge is huge lovely decorated and seats easily 24 people even if used only by 16 divers. The dive deck is large and allows easy dressing and undressing. Access to tenders is safe and stable. Huge sundeck. We have travelled on a good number of liveaboards and none stands in the shadow of Arenui's overall performance. This is the very best! Great value for money. We had a dive guide for each two divers. The guides are all very knowledgeable about the area. Good briefings. A trip without a glitch. We immediately booked for a repeater trip. Once you experience Arenui you are in trouble because nothing compares!
