Comments The crew is very hardworking and provide great service. The food was some of the best I've had on a liveaboard. The guides were great at finding critters, though harassed them a bit more than I'm comfortable with. Mark, the owner, was aboard for this cruise while his usual cruise directors were on vacation. He's very friendly and a great storyteller. The crew was good at dealing with an unfilled tank, though that shouldn't have happened in the first place. We had two snorkelers along, who enjoyed the trip as well. Bring a thick wetsuit for the sites on the cold south side of Komodo, while some in our group skipped the wetsuit entirely on the warmer north side.

UW Photo Comments They don't have a dedicated camera table. With only a few cameras on this cruise we made do with the gear table on the open dive deck. The one day it rained I had to take my camera into the salon to work on it. They do have a charging area in the salon, though it would get crowded if there were more photographers.
