Amazing diving experience

An amazing diving experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the 3 day 2 night live aboard. If you looking to do this trip, ask to be put on a trip with Kevin who is the dive guide. He is hilarious and made the trip that much more enjoyable. Big D is also an awesome instructor for our advanced course. This was our first time diving unguided and we felt confident because of the thorough briefings. 2 of the toilets were blocked on our boat which made the entire boat smell real bad (this happened prior to us boarding the boat) so check that this is fixed before making your booking! Also the trip out to the sites in July is rough due to winds, make sure to take sea sick tablets.

Okay for new divers

This is primarily a training vessel and dives are organized in and around courses. It can be crowded and dives rushed so may not suit all diving types. It is lacking an extra dinghy or RIB for unexpected occurrences considering the amount of people in the water at anytime.

Learn to dive course

I learnt to scuba dive over 5 days and I had so much fun. My instructors were Flo and Molly and they made the whole learning experience enjoyable and took away the stress of learning. Flo was a great teacher because she was patient and explained everything very clearly and those are great qualities to have from an instructor when you can't speak underwater. She put lots of effort into teaching us so that we could explore the reef with our remaining air and she would always show us the hand signs for all the fish we saw.Being on the liveaboard for 3 days was worthwhile because I made some great friends on board and was especially close with the others learning to dive with me. They catered for my friends vegan diet and the crew were friendly and fun to have around.The only disappointing part was during the course when the guy from the store came to convince us to buy all the equipment for diving. They will allow you to try on the good quality mask and fins in the pool but expect you to buy it yourself before you go on the ship. I was expecting to have access to the decent equipment as part of the deal but instead they provide you with the lower quality mask and flippers which they advised us were much inferior.
