Comments This had to be the best liveaboard I have done in the past three years. The crew was great and very attentive. Gee did a great job taking us to dive sites that were diverse and did his best to ensure that if other boats were in the area we staggered our times to not be on top of each other. from the comments all the dive guides were great. They did an excellent job pointing out numerous fish and critters we would have otherwise overlooked. Nudibranches, octopuses, Mantas, just when you thought the diving couldn't get any better, off to another excellent site. Castle Rock was excellent. We dove in huge bait balls.

The boat was great Clean. The food was excellent. There was really nothing I could say about the trip. Heading back to Indonesia in March. Going to Raj Ampat this time.

UW Photo Comments The set up for UWP was adequate, If everyone was in to UWP, probably would not have been adequate space. Make sure you bring adapters for voltage conversion to 110.
