Night dive was unreal
Diving the reef after dark was the highlight — reef sharks hunting right below us. Crew looked after us brilliantly the whole trip.

Learned to dive in paradise
The instructors were so patient getting me certified. By day three I was diving with confidence surrounded by the most incredible marine life.

Never wanted it to end
Waking up on the reef, diving before breakfast, meeting other travellers — the whole experience was magic. The crew felt like family by the end.

Living on the reef was epic
Multiple dives a day, sleeping out on the water and waking up to sunrise over the reef. The dive crew were world-class and so encouraging.

Incredible, cabins are cosy
The diving was absolutely world-class with amazing instructors. Cabins are compact as you would expect on a liveaboard but totally worth it.

Best diving trip ever
Got my open water done and dived sites you cannot reach on a day trip. Food and cabins were better than expected. Saw sharks, turtles and rays.
