Comments I'll keep this short. Don't bother with this operator. The ship was significantly over-hyped on its website (cabins dirty, furniture missing, things broken, etc.). The two dive guides (a local Maldivian kid and a girl from Italy) were "dating" and pretty much just interested in themselves, not guiding. People were regularly complaining about this and that, and the Italian girl said at one point "well, you can't always get what you want". Overall a poor experience. Avoid this one.
