Neptune One Liveaboard

A Truly Amazing Experience – that pretty much describes my diving voyage around Komodo on the Neptune One May 10 to 17, 2024. Cruise Director and Dive Guide Rizald and the crew were incredible. Professional, safe, adventurous, accommodating, and FUN! They were an absolute blast to spend time with these people.

The Neptune One crew was on top of everything, and they obviously enjoy what they do – their humor and laughter was infectious and made me feel 30 years younger! The main cabin stewards were wonderful – anticipating what you might need or want. Within a day or two they knew my and other divers daily routines and tailored their service to those routines. And always with a smile. Pre-dive my dive gear was prepped and ready. Post-dive the crew rinsed and prepped all my gear for the next dive. Dive briefings were informative and spot on. The dive platform and skiffs were very well organized and organized – a well-oiled machine with plenty of room for everyone.

The diving was simply fantastic – exactly why you invest in a trip to Komodo. Mantas, sharks, cuddle fish, octopus, Spanish Dancers, turtles, eels, fish, fish, fish and so much more. Drift and wall dives, amazing night dives. Shotgun, Crystal Rock, Castle Rock and so many other great dives. The corals and structures of the dive sites were fascinating.

The Neptune One is an unbelievable and beautiful classic dive boat, I loved it. The Neptune One is very well equipped, extremely comfortable, and was kept clean and organized throughout the trip. The bedrooms and beds and very comfortable. Air conditioning in the main parlor and in your rooms was so nice. And they provided laundry service onboard! Such a nice service when on a live-aboard! The top deck, sun deck, and main deck provide an abundance of outside space to relax and visit with other divers – not to mention again the air-conditioned main parlor and dining area. And the dining??? The food was simply amazing, delicious, and plentiful. As good or better than most fine dining restaurants.

Finally, JJ and Naomi and the other people I contacted at Neptune Live Aboards to set up my trip were fantastic: informative, helpful, responsive, and NICE. Whenever I emailed them with a question I had a response within 24 hours – usually within an hour or two. If you want to have a truly memorable dive trip to Komodo or Raja Ampat I highly recommend Neptune One and do so without hesitation. They are 5 stars through and through. I am already in contact with them planning my next adventure, this time to Raja Ampat, and I am so looking forward to seeing my new friends again for more diving fun!

I was very impressed with all the crew. Very professional at all times. I honestly don't think service could be any better, the crew are very attentive. They all made me feel very welcome & part of the Neptune family

First time on a live aboard and was scared of being on the sea for a long time. But had a great time and always felt safe. The good food was comforting and surprising so good on a boat.

Neptune one was a great experience for us. The boat, staff, and especially the diving was excellent; as was the food.

The diving in Raja Ampat was everything imagined with mantas, corals. The highlight was the jellyfish lake. The crew and our dive instructor, Nando were amazing. Thank you!
