Mermaid I Liveaboard Reviews

The Mermaid 1 was such a great experience. We did the 10 day Komodo tour. The service and staff were amazing. They were very attentive, and quick to see how they could serve or help you and were fun and upbeat. We had the master cabin and it was very comfortable and spacious. I especially really loved the special help on the dive deck—even helping me (age 68) get in and out of my wetsuit. All our gear and wetsuits were quickly taken care of and ready to go for the next dive. It was great to have a 3-4 diver to dive guide ratio too. The diving and boat felt very safe and ran smoothly. We saw everything we hoped to see and more: pristine beautiful reefs with more diverse wildlife than anywhere else we have been, whale sharks, three dives with mantas, and the Komodo dragons. All around just a wonderful experience.
