I only want to dive on boats like this from now on

I only want to dive on boats like this from now on. Very luxurious and spacious, with private ensuite cabins with shower views that rival high-end resorts. The food was excellent- freshly cooked eggs to order each morning and delicious, well-cooked meals three times a day, far above liveaboard standards.

The dive crew was knowledgeable, relaxed, professional, and friendly, consistently finding the best encounters for us - mantas, whale sharks, tiger sharks, nudibranchs, and more. The diving setup was the most hassle-free I’ve ever experienced, with a large separate dive boat where all gear was pre-set. I’ll definitely be back

A suggestion would be that the operator put more effort into separating groups by experience and skill level - I was grouped with less-experienced divers, which limited available sites and profiles of dives
