This was my first liveaboard, so I don't have a lot to compare it to. But overall, I thought it was great.

The staff was awesome! They were always so friendly and helpful.

The food was really good. Hot breakfast selections changed each day, and they were always tasty. Lunch was buffet style. Dinners included fish, chicken, and other things, dessert each night was awesome and included things like bananas foster and bread pudding. There were always cookies and chips available, and snacks were served between the two morning dives and the two afternoon dives. We had a few people with special food requirements, including one particularly difficult person, and they accommodated their needs completely without any hesitation.

The diving was great, we saw reef sharks, nurse sharks, octopus, squid, turtles, seahorses and more! The divemasters were always great at finding and pointing out some of the harder to find things like pipefish, decorator crabs, etc. We didn't have too many people who required 'extra attention' during the dives, but they accommodated those people well. Everybody was happy. They took pictures and video during the dives. Video was available for purchase, but the pictures were included free - a nice perk! We also got to try out the black light fluorsecent diving on a night dive, which was pretty cool

Accommodations were a bit tight, I'm guessing that's typical on a liveaboard. But the beds were comfortable, and they were made up each night with a chocolate left on the pillows.

Overall, it was a great vacation! My first liveaboard but not my last!
