Overall Rating

Our 11-day trip off southeast Sulawesi was the ultimate in comfort and
serenity. The boat is beautiful and our “super deluxe" cabin was very
spacious. Meals are individually served to order, not a buffet. This
October, seas were calm and the weather was sunny every day. We fully
recommend this trip. 

The diving feature remote coral reefs that displayed the greatest profusion
of color that we have ever seen. We dove on submerged coral atolls that
were out of sight of any land or boats. Reefs were in truly pristine
condition. Most of the fish were small to medium, and there were almost no
sharks or rays.

Off the island of Buton there is muck diving where we saw cockatoo
waspfish, devil scorpionfish, robust & ornate ghost pipefish, mandarin
fish, orangutan crab in bubble coral, frog fish, banded cardinal fish,
large plerobranchus, mantis shrimp, snake eels, and my first view of a
wonderpus. 

The dive guides, a young Italian couple Cici and Marco, were competent,
energetic and exuded joie de vivre. They laughed easily and were fluent in
English, German and Italian. While this couple is casual and relaxed, they
kept the diving organized and on schedule. Eleven guests were divided into
two groups, each with a guide. You can trust them with your life, because
they are skilled.

Cici was very conscientious and, while petite, did just as much as a man
would do in this position. Affable Marco took advantage of the
indoor/outdoor speaker system to pipe a constantly changing selection of
music throughout the boat, ranging from light instrumentals morning and
evening to more varied music in the afternoon. His tastes matched ours
perfectly.

As a couple traveling alone, not in a group, we were pleased to find the
other divers were experienced divers and adventurous travelers. We had two
Germans, two Swedes, one Italian and six Americans. Again, we completely
recommend this trip.
