You Guys Rock! Great diving, awesome very knowledgeable guides, tasty food, friendly crew… cold beer! I could really see that everyone loves working on the boat and makes a great team, Cheers to TEAM SEA SQUIRT! 🙂
My experience on Jaya was unbelievable. The dive guides and crew are all so friendly, welcoming and caring. They clearly love what they do, and it makes for an amazing experience below and above water. I hope to come back soon!
It was awesome, thanks again to everyone and a special thanks to Younes who deserves it. He manages very very well. Idea: Movie night would be a perfect after dive activity.
