Comments	Hands down, best diving vacation of my life. The diving was spectacular, as was the boat. The marine life in this part of the world was so varied and healthy, and abundant. Every dive was different, sometimes drift, sometimes no current, other times, half and half. We saw several mantas, sharks, large schools of baitfish and predators, Wobegong sharks, turtles, etc. We dove three times a day, with a night dive available for five or six nights. I am not a night diver, but had to try a muck dive once at night. It was filled with odd critters, all pointed out by our excellent dive guide Andre. The boat was magnificent, if there is better, I would be both surprised and wanting to book a trip immediately. The staterooms were spacious and comfortable, bathroom was huge. You wouldn't know you were on a boat except for the rocking motion. The food was good, plenty of it and lots of variety. The crew was fantastic, and the best part, they assigned the same dive guide to you for the duration of the trip. Small groups, one dive master for two or three divers, or four, depending on how they split up the groups. For an 11 day trip, that makes a big difference. Your guide has a chance to figure out how you dive, what you like, what you don't care about. I can't say enough good things about this boat, crew or destination. It was late in the season, only a couple other liveaboards in the area for half the time, the other half, we were all alone. You can't ask for better conditions. No hanging around in port on the first day like they do on Aggressor boats. Last guest on, weigh anchor and off you go. Worth every penny. I was hesitant to write this review because I want to go again, and do not want to run into a situation where it is too full for me to go!

Great report. A few weeks ago, I booked a trip for Jan 2020. As I'm now in retirement, I'm not afraid to spend more money for a top-rated and spacious accommodations.

You will not be disappointed. I'm already looking into our next trip on this boat, just a different destination.
