The diving was wonderful - pelagics, large and small fish, schools of fish, coral, nudibrancs, crabs, lobsters, seahorses, morays. One dive had two morays in every hole in the reef. No hassles or restrictions diving (except no diving after drinking). Divemasters are wonderful and the crew is fantastic. They actually help you on and off with your wetsuit and have now spoiled us for future diving. The best liveaboard we have ever been on (we've been diving for over 20 years). We saw no adverse effects from the tsunami - this was the first cruise after the event. We also went to Angkor Wat and spent a few days in Bangkok - made all the reservations and arrangements ourselves on the internet and all worked out perfectly. The only problem is the very long trip - I would stop somewhere in the middle next time. |
