Recensioni dei Sub (1)

George Necula, 11/01/2019

We had a good time on La Galigo. The boat is comfortable and clean. The crew is very helpful and always smiling. The food was good, and in a couple of occasions exceptional, e.g., for the dinner BBQ on the beach. The rental gear was good quality, and the dive equipment worked flawlessly. The dive sites are very nice, but in a couple of cases we were unlucky to have stronger currents and worse visibility that what I understand is the norm. The two downsides that I can think of are that the shaded area could be bigger, and being a monohull makes it less stable during the night crossings if the sea is not calm. However, almost all of the dive boats we have seen around in Raja Ampat would have the same problem.
