| Testimonial: |
"The onboard staff were extremely helpful, especially when assisting with diving equipments and gas tanks etc. My dive instructor Kazu was also very familiar with the dive sites and was able to point out interesting features and sea animals during the dive. He was always eager to make the dives more interesting and more fulfilling." - Danny Yeo, Singapore ...
"The dive master/instructor we had, Nueng, was perfect. She introduced herself to us as soon as we got on the boat, she told us what to expect, she asked questions about our experience, she listened well and geared her review course lesson to us based on our needs. The review course was well done, good pace. Her teaching skills were superior! The remaining part of our dives with her were fantastic. She pointed out all kinds of fish, sharks, rock, coral - everything to make sure we saw a lot, were comfortable and doing ok the entire time - great experience. After the dives, she was helpful in answering questions - excellent!" - Trish Redman, USA ...
