Customer Reviews of Liveaboard
Customer ReviewsThe SMY Ondina liveaboard customer reviews listed here have been chosen for you to get a feel for the scuba diving experience you'll get.
Customer Review
”Awesome crew that enabled a fabulous dive trip. Great people who really look after the divers and are flexible to support their needs whether you want one to one support, to dive for longer than the standard 60 minutes, to explore with your buddy etc. Divers are organised into very small groups with dive masters who are excellent and will go at a pace that suits you which makes for a great experience. Other crew are similarly very helpful, looking after your dive gear, cooking meals to order if you weren’t keen on the menu etc.
The price point of this boat is quite a bit lower than some others that appeared to provide a more luxurious service…in my view it wouldn’t be worth the extra money, we saw some of these ’expensive boats’ and in future will completely avoid them as all we saw was very large dive groups that were extremely disruptive under water. Other divers on the same trip agreed with us, some were returning to the Ondina for the second or third time due to the more personalised service. However, Ondina team…..you need to fix the leaks….getting drenched in bed in the middle of the night when it rained is not what divers pay a lot of money for….please do a bit of maintenance as this is letting you down.” Recommended for: Dive Masters, Raja Ampat underwater experience, Flexibility to allow divers a personalised experience.
