Truly life changing experience! The boat, crew, food, dive sites, and dive guides were all absolutely amazing.
The crew: The crew was extremely helpful and made the experience lovely. The only sad part was the captain (not sure of his name) constantly disposed of his cigarettes in the ocean. Other than that, he was a good captain.
Dive guides: They always knew what they were doing and I felt very safe having them lead me in the INSANE currents. They were able to spot creatures that I would have completely overlooked. Safety was taken seriously. A briefing was conducted before every dive to ensure safety and general awareness.
The food: You would think for a "budget" Liveaboard that you would get okay food but you'd be wrong. The food was top-notch. Always came out fresh and was extremely filling. The presentation was also gorgeous.
Dive sites: they always knew exactly when and which dive sites to go to. We never had to call a dive or faced any treacherous conditions. If you're a new diver, I don't recommend Komodo since the currents are absolutely intense.
The boat: Don't expect your room to be like something from Four Seasons. They are very spartan but are also comfortable. Plenty of room for belongings. It's a small boat, so no long, hot hollywood showers. My one and only complaint would be that the rooms on the lower deck (below main deck) had a diesel fuel smell to them. It wasn't too bad but it can be a turn off if you're sensitive to that kind of thing. You can always sleep on the top level if you want to. The top level is shaded, has tons of space and plenty of soft beany bags. - via
