Comments My first liveaboard and trip to Raja Ampat. The trip absolutely surpassed our expectations! We spent 10 nights on the ship. The ship was gorgeous, and our room #5 was huge! The food was fantastic, as were all the staff and dive guides. We were totally spoiled and pampered! They even helped us put on our wetsuits. On most days there was the opportunity for 4 dives. The crew always went out first to check conditions. Dive briefings were very thorough. Water was handed out before and after each dive, and there was hot chocolate after night dives. The cruise director, Mika, and well as Jing (in training), were terrific. There was extra attention to safety and the concerns about fire. My partner has a disability. Entry to the skiffs was easy, and staff was always there to help him. We felt so cared for!
