You have to make a few compromises in terms of comfort on the boat, there are only a few shaded areas and when it rains you sit around in a very cramped space.
The cabin I shared was the smallest, right next to the engine room, forwards in and backwards out again ???? But it still worked, because the most important thing, the diving, was perfectly organized. The crew made up for everything. Very courteous, warm, the guests are greeted with a song and cheers after every dive. Simply a great team ????. The dive sites were beautifully overgrown, lots of fish, manta rays, buffalo heads, many wobbegongs, there could have been a few more sharks, blacktips were seen regularly, gray reef sharks were rare. Macro enthusiasts also get their money's worth. Anyone who wants to save a little on the boat is very well advised here Price/performance ????

Top two weeks behind on this boat. You could tell from the boat itself that the end of season was coming. The sleeping cabin was nice but the bathroom area could use a refresh. There was also a diesel smell that literally crawled into your clothes but this certainly didn't spoil the fun. The staff and the food on the boat were fantastic. Also the diving was great, I think it was the best diving vacation we have done so far. If you have the opportunity to do this trip, definitely book it!

Cabins especially bathroom/toilet a bit worn,
Cupboard musty (musty and diesel smell). Laundry and other items stored in it had to be washed 3-4 times after return. Therefore only 3 stars. Bad luck - the diesel smell was due to a leak in a supply line. Great service from the local crew members (especially our dive guide Chris and all the helpers including the kitchen team).

Bigger repairs are urgently needed, Rooms are moldy, after the trip the complete stuff smells moldy.
Fensis was a great guide, maybe the best one of the group.

Very cramped conditions on board. Strong smell of diesel below deck. Moody cruise director. Very friendly and great local crew. Very good guides. Food: weak - chicken, noodles, rice, old frozen fish.

The boat has come into its own
The tour director ? the only unpleasant thing on board
At the table the seats are very cramped
The TD eats with you and out of decency always eats first and most
TD and alcohol should be a NG

The ship is in a desolate condition and smells
stinks terribly. Our guide Fensis was excellent. I can't speak for the other guides.

We did a tour from Ambon, Banda Sea, Misool to Sorong. I liked the dives in the Banda Sea best. The other dives were of course also great. The crew and dive guides were very friendly and helpful. The boat is getting on in years and my cabin no. 1 was not suitable for sleeping, terrible smell (mixture of diesel, disinfectant etc) the locker smelled so bad that we had to store our clothes on the bed, at home 3 washes were necessary to get the smell out of the clothes. I always slept on deck which is fine. The cabins of my fellow travelers were a little better according to their description but the bad smell was also present there. Summary, good friendly crew, dive sites good to very good, the dining table was too cramped for 13 people, trip to the dive sites in 3 groups very well organized, accommodation in the cabins poor.

Apart from the Swedish diving guide, everything was great. He was a German tennis instructor from the 80s. But that didn't really detract from the overall picture. The boat could do with some "cosmetics". The crew was sensational - friendly and nice. All in all, a vacation that can be recommended.

The drain in the shower was badly clogged. I fixed that...very old hair.
It dripped past the lamp in the cabin....on the edge of the bed when it rained. There was a wet corner next to the bed on the floor when it rained.
All in all...renovation would be needed.
Accessibility wg organization of transfer was difficult.
