Liburan Live-aboard in Manado

[diver69]

Just waondering if anyone has any experience with Liburan Live Aboard out of Manado, Indonesia? Actually, they call it Ms. Liburan.

How's the guide, food, beds, and washroom?

Limited info on the boat though.

Can anyone provide any info on this operator? I'm about to confirm my reservation with them. They told me they can cater to how many days I want to spend at Lembeh and Bangka each....Kind of makes me ask - how about the other divers? Or do my sister and myself have the whole boat to ourselves.
The price quoted is quite reasonable too.
Anyone been with them??? Please provide feedback.
Thx

No one has any info on Liburan? There's gotta be someone out there who's gone out with them before????

They have got a few good comments on German scuba boards. Still, I wouldn't want to dive with them. A boat that is operating in North Sulawesi since years and whose owner has all the time arrogantly resisted to contribute to the conservational efforts of most of the other dive operators is definitively not what I would want to spend money for.

Hi Klaus,

Can you elaborate?

Visited the boat while diving Lembeh Straits two years ago.
Looks quite basic if you ask me.

Hi seamonster,

Do they usually have a full boat or will they yake only 2 people out? How are the divemasters? We're not looking for anything luxurious, you get what you pay for (in terms of luxury), and this live-aboard is pretty cheap.
