Customer Reviews of Liveaboard
Customer ReviewsThe MY Oceania liveaboard customer reviews listed here have been chosen for you to get a feel for the scuba diving experience you'll get.
Customer Review
”Fish fest in the Bismarck Sea. Well run, comfortable boat with healthy reefs and easy diving. The Vitu Islands itinerary gives you a nice mix of reefs and muck dives, and though you are in quite a remote corner of the world, they do everything they can to make things as easy as possible. Keep in mind that for the time being, Visa on arrival is suspended, and local immigration can be slow and difficult to get a hold of. Plan for this.” Recommended for: Fish, muck diving, tasty dinners.
