Customer reviews:
"The ship was nice, cabin was comfortable, dive team was ok. Cabin shower was not very clean, slow drainage, basin moldy. Although only 9 pax with 24 crew, we could hardly see more than a handful of the crew serving us. Asked for jacuzzi to be filled, was told by the captain there was not enough water - they filled just enough to soak my legs. Dive team also not experienced in handling my camera on the speed boat. My wide angle lens was badly scratched and I had to demand a towel to be placed on deck each dive. Cruise director didn't seem comfortable interacting with foreign guests, stuck mostly to the locals. He is also the head of dive team which I believe is a mistake.Customer rating: Excellent!
