Thanks! Infiniti is very nice liveaboard. It reminds me of Blue Manta & White Manta. This trip was my 3rd time on the boat. The first & second times were in December 2022 & January 2023 on back-to-back trip to South Visayas & North Visayas.

For those of you who are not familiar with Infiniti liveaboard, you can find more detail information by going to their website: Philippines Liveaboard

A very professional video; thank you for sharing your trip with us. Seeing all the juvenile Napoleon Wrasse was interesting as I've not seen them before.

Thanks!

No, I did not see many kinds of big animals. There are plenty of close encounters with Whitetip Reef Sharks and Grey Reef Sharks, Hawksbill & Green Turtles, but I saw no Mantas, No Hammerheads, No Whalesharks.

May be I go back in earlier part of the year next time, like in March.
