Gig organisers irrtuemlich, nette Crew

Gut organisiert, pünktlich, hilfsbereit, schöne Riffe, Essen gut, jederzeit informiert. Crew hat stetig nach den Passagieren geschaut. Fotos viel zu teuer.

Super Ausflug, sehr empfehlenswert

Wir hatten hervorragendes Wetter. Die Evolution ist das größte und wohl modernste Schiff von den ganzen Anbietern. Das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und war super drauf. Die notwendigen Sicherheitsbriefings wurden gewissenhaft aber unterhaltsam durchgeführt. beide Schnorchelstopps waren Klasse und man hat wirklich ausreichen Zeit im Wasser. Mittagsbuffet war finde ich nur mittelmäßig. Die Steaks waren für meinen Geschmack sehr zäh, dafür der fisch ganz gut.
