Comments We are a group of friends living in Bali that hired the entire boat for a week for a heavily discounted price because of Corona. We certainly got value for money! We never saw any other divers in the water, however there were a handful of other dive boards we saw during the course of the week. The accommodation, the food and the staff on board were all fantastic, with a nice arrangement for New Year's Eve on the upper deck. The Cruise Director, Jing, is one of the best, accommodating most of our special wishes regarding dive sites. I rented all my dive gear on the boat - and was very happy with it. Regarding Corona: everyone entering Papua had to have a negative PCR test and the crew members get tested regularly as well. One cabin was reserved for anyone falling sick - which did not happen. We definitely finished 2020 on a high - which was quite a blessing! Hope to do more before all these top places get over-crowded again!
