Amazing Raja Ampat
We had the chance to board Ambai for a 12 day-liveaboard in Raja Ampat. We are two quite experienced divers (650+ dive each) and this was not our first liveaboard. The boat is extremely comfortable and maintained in very good conditions. The Indonesian crew were absolutely adorable and caring. The food was delicious all throughout the trip. Our dive guide (Orlando) was extremely helpful, safe (whenever the divesite started to get tricky due to lots of current for instance), and could perfectly fulfill the expectations of everyone in terms of spotting macro life and guiding in a way that we were always on the right spot (for action in current) and away from the rest of the groups. We had a fantastic experience in Raja Ampat thanks to him and the entire crew of the boat ... the only downside of the trip was a frequent poor visibility on the 40 dives we made - which is more linked to the plancton season than any action of the crew on board of course ;o)
