Comments	Very spacious boat. Relatively large cabins with queen size beds or twins available. No bunks. All cabins had ensuite toilets and showers. AC worked well and boat was always comfortable. Cabins had individual AC controls which actually worked. Large indoor and outdoor lounge areas. Crew of 19 worked very hard, including very carefully washing all dive gear after the last dive. Land trip to Komodo Island was enjoyable. Nitrox available. I've been on more than 20 live aboards and found the food on all generally good, but the food on this boat was well above average. Most of the diving was in and around the Komodo National Park. Diving is done entirely from 2 small dingies which would be crowded with a full complement of 18 divers. Likewise, the dive deck would be a bit crowded with 18 divers. Most itineries arrive and depart from Bali and the crossing to Komodo is 18 hours, so a ten day trip does not mean 10 days of diving. Overall, this is a very good, very comfortable live aboard. The operator was very responsive to pre-trip inquiries and was very helpful with arrangements.
