also went with them last may for the tubbataha trip. was there at the may 8 trip.
service was excellent. food was very delicious. beds were very comfortable. also like the fact that all rooms had en-suite bathrooms.
the staff was very attentive. from the housekeepers, the wait staff, to the dive guides, the chef, to the boat manager.. everyone.
for the dives, we were lucky to have good diving conditions.
great scheduling for the sites by the captain or boat manager.
of the 20 dives we did, most of the time, no other charter was there.
the timing was also very good, because visibility was maybe at least 20-30meters.
lots of schools of juvenile black and whitetips...
a rare sighting of a big fat hammerhead was also there. had to swim out into the blue for that sighting though.
on 1 of our dives, we saw 3 different whalesharks.
2 juveniles the size of a van, and one very curious sub-adult that literally stopped in front of us.
heard that on the trip after us, they even saw a shark-ray.
overall, couldn't have been a more perfect trip for my first liveaboard.
