Lunch was very nice & it was also great to be onboard with experienced divers, who could tell us about their exploration. The equipment was all in great condition and it felt really safe. Big shoutout to Amir, our guide, who was fun and helpful, and answered lots of questions. And also the captain, Azmi, who navigated us safely! An amazing day out - just don’t forget to wear suncream 😉”

“The locations we went to were nice, however the driver was awful. He sped, no seatbelt, talked on the phone on loudspeaker to others, tried to get us to book him for other trips, argued with his wife on the phone on loudspeaker, stopped for his own dinner for 30 minutes, had his brother tail us for the entire trip back, routinely smoked and the car smelt of cigarettes, didn't take the toll, and got us back to our hotel 2 hours late. He lied about facts on the trip (such as saying the Cameron Highlands are named that because you "come around the high lands". Did not feel safe…”
