Good value for moneyVerified review
Overall good old boat with enough space. Sometimes termites in certain cabins. Dhoni wasn‘t appropriate (not enough space, slippery, technical problems) Good food with homemade bread (didn‘t like the artificial desserts). Good choice of dive spots, safe briefings, 2 experienced guides. Good staff that is motivated. German manager on board who solves every problem. Guests mostly german speaking.
