All your staff that worked on this boat made my stay so enjoyable. Your dive deck goes beyond taking care of myself and other divers. I was spoilt with my room being cleaned daily and all my meals coming from Chef was brilliant. I loved that the crew would come and chat with me on a daily basis, I felt so cared for by you all. Thank you to Adam and James for the insight and knowledge on each of the wrecks, and our movie night's which added another group bonding moment. Much love to you all

Our expedition was not normal for the captain and crew. They accepted our creative schedule with great understanding and practical help. They also shared their deep knowledge of oceans and marine activity and were honestly curious about the endeavours of the onboard artists. They and all your crew were so helpful at every stage - making us aware of safety at the same time as trying to making the difficult possible. Please extend our thanks to all and for helping with the charter.

What a phenomenal team on the Pacific Master led by Captain Hugo.... Going out to one of the most remote dive destinations, Bikini Atoll, the Taka, Pacific master always felt safe. I look forward to seeing you again soon and the bragging rights of such an epic trip, LOL. I will exaggerate my adventure many times over. Thank you to Master Liveaboards

The entire crew was amazing and very attentive. They were always trying to help however they could. The guides were very professional, and showed us some incredible sites (sic) on the wrecks with through briefings. The food was outstanding and Lisa and Roxy were very helpful and did amazing jobs keeping everything clean. The captain and the cruise director were top notch and represent Master liveaboards as a premier liveaboard.
