Customer Review
”Stop hesitating, book now! Overall experience was great. Highly recommend for solo travelers or couples or families. If you enjoy diving there’s no better way to spend a week.” Recommended for: Amazing dive sites. Throughout the trips we visited some of the best reefs I’ve ever seen, beautiful corals and fish.. Great crew on board. Really made us all feel at home and we had a lot of fun with them. Delicious Vegan Food! We were a little skeptical because people often don’t understand veganism but they were fully prepared and chefed up great food throughout the trip..

”Exceeded my expectations!! TLDR: 24yo female solo traveler, 4D3N Liveaboard, amazing staff and beautiful dives!! I went on the 4 day/ 3 night Amalia Liveaboard towards the end of June 2024 and was so glad I did. Everyone at Uber Scuba made my experience so easy, I had nothing to worry about, my sole job was to enjoy myself! The boat is beautiful and the entire staff/ crew is so warm and welcoming. It’s clear that our dive masters (Rian, France, and Venan) were not there simply because it was their “job,” rather, it’s their passion and they love making others fall in love with the ocean as much as they are. Chef Yansen serves us fresh food after every dive. Captain Hassan always greeted us and hung out with us during down time. We would sing songs on the guitar with other crew members. Aside from the incredible diving, the Liveaboard was a beautiful experience because of all the people at Uber Scuba that create such a fun and loving environment. As a solo traveler, I felt like I had a temporary family and I appreciated that a lot 🙂 Diving wise, I always felt ready, safe, and prepared with the equipment and briefings before each dive. The biodiversity was STUNNING. Both macro and micro. Sharks, turtles, nudis, shrimp, octopus… but as my friend Ben said, “the ‘normal’ little fish can be just as beautiful and amazing as everything else.” While you can easily just do day trips for diving, the Liveaboard was nice because it takes away most of the travel time and you can be the only group or the first group at what would normally be a busy dive site. I feel so lucky to have this experience, thank you Uber Scuba, you guys are the best.” Recommended for: Beautiful boat, amazing staff, dive sites.
