Premier liveaboard diving - your review/advice please

[indiedive]

Hi,

I saw there are quite good offers in website Premier liveaboard diving - Maldives, Indonesia, Thailand, Palau. but I haven't found any reviews on this company. It has facebook page with lots of last minute offers too, really interesting.

Has anyone ever booked liveaboard trip from this company? Would you recommend it?

Many thanks in advance!

With the reward, comes the risk.

I've just sent my final payment to them for the Komodo Liveaboard (In 60 days I'll be diving in Lembeh then Komodo...can hardly wait) I booked thru them. So far so good, they have had good service so far. The original date I wanted was booked, my second choice they were good at working that out, with a group not sure how many spaces they were going to book.

@shasta_man, true that!
@dirtfarmer, thanks! I will book one trip soon - as I find a liveaboard that match to our anniversary date/week in their offer. Enjoy Lembeh and Komodo! Trust you will have great diving there!

@Evgeniy, will do. I booked a trip through Premier Liveaboard to Raja Ampat next year. So far I received prompt replies after the booking payment. I am really looking forward to the trip already

Just about to leave for Lembeh and Komodo. The service from Premier was great throughout my booking for Komodo on the Mermaid 2. Now it's just up to
2fish and Mermaid 2, to provide the experience I'm hoping for. I'll post here and in the Indo forum with a trip report.

Premier Liveaboard Diving is a reliable agency. Run by a guy called Jez Tryner who is very experienced and knows the places he sells. We are in the same business so if I am not dissing him it must be true!

The Mermaid you could have booked directly via the Mermaid owner agency Komodo Raja Ampat Alor 5 Stars Liveaboards. I booked already directly Komodo in 2012 & 2013 and Raja Ampat for 2014. best greetings Pierre

Yes he can book direct, but it sounds like Premier liveaboard diving have been very useful to dirtfarmer, answered all his questions and guided him towards a boat (out of the many many options) that he likes. That's a valuable service considering it is free to the customer - the same price as going direct to an operator (all of whom will say they are the best regardless of your requirements).
