Oceanic III Liveaboard, Philippines

To say this was the worst liveaboard would be an understatement. But first, l must be emphasis that throughout the trip, the crew were amazing and tireless in making sure we had everything. I was told the boat had just come out of a major refit which l truly find hard to believe. My comments relate to the dive boat only.; these are: 1. Cabins were so small you could touch both sides with arms held out wide 2. Poor head room that necessitated constant ducking of your head 3. The so called 'ensuite' was so small you could not sit down on the toilet or stand up in the shower 4. No storage space in the cabin 5. Diving area and generally around the boat had no non-slip paint (very dangerous) 6. No comfortable indoor chill out area to relax 7. Sun deck provided no shade from the sun due to poor design 8. Engine stack constantly emitted diesel fumes which made sitting out impossible unless you wanted to breath in fumes 9. Dive tender was totally unsuitable for the carriage of divers and 'kitting' up. 10. No chairs to sit on outside except lounge beds and impractical 'bean bags'. I would not recommend this boat to any diver who is looking for an 'all round' liveaboard experience as it does not deliver.
