Overall Rating

The Good; Decent boat for diving. Acceptable accommodations.
The bad: The Bilikiki was a huge disappointment! First, the food was not
prepared well. (Subsequently, I lost alot of weight on this trip). They
need a new cook. But more importantly,  Dive-masters Monty and Mischelle
were unfriendly, unhelpful and sometimes rude, showing a complete lack of
interest in our well-being and in maintaining a safe and enjoyable diving
experience. Crew were lazy and generally unresponsive to our needs, but
were not unfriendly like the Dive-masters. Dive sites were sub-standard and
we were made to dive the same sites multiple times because the
Dive-Masters/crew were too lazy to travel to better sites. To our
astonishment, we spent a whole day in the Russells at sites infested with
crocodiles (one was actually sited) The Dive-masters actually joked about,
it saying that several villagers had been killed this year alone. Three
women were completely loud and obnoxious from the time they boarded,
dominating the atmosphere on the boat from the beginning, and this behavior
was actually encouraged by the dive-masters.This inappropriate behavior
would worsen at night when the women and dive-masters would get drunk
together. So, to my knowledge, at least three of us were VERY unhappy with
this Live-Aboard. Management never responded to our complaints after the
trip. This is one Live-Aboard that should be avoided!
