We just returned from a 5-day, 4/night live aboard stay on Reef Encounter. The food was delicious and the diving was incredible. Best of all, the staff (Sofia, Maria, Delaney, Eleanor, captain Matt, and Jasmine) made this trip memorable. I’ve only given 4 stars because I think Reef Encounter (as well designed as she is) needs some dry dock love. She is in need of a paint job and other major maintenance. On the minor maintenance side, we actually spent time tightening loose screws in our room because we kept cutting our selve... read more

1박 2일 동안 총 4번의 스쿠버 다이빙과 2번의 스노클링을 진행했습니다. 장점: 모든 크루들이 매우 친절합니다! 크루즈에 타는 것과 스쿠버 다이빙 경험 모두 많지 않아 걱정이 많았는데, 친절한 크루들의 도움으로 완벽한 휴가를 보낼 수 있었습니다. 특히 체험 다이빙 과정에서 너무나 많은 도움을 주신 David 에게 감사드립니다! 스쿠버 다이빙을 배워야 한다면 꼭 이분께 수업을 받으세요. 단점: 스쿠버 다이빙 장비가 노후화되어 고장이 많았습니다. 첫날에는 레귤레이터 고장으로 2번이나 장비 교체를 진행했고, 둘째날에는 BCD가 고장나서 2번이나 교체해야 했습니다. 특히나 bcd의 고장은 바다에 들어갔다가 공기가 급격히 빠져나가는 leak가 발견됐는데, 마침 파도가 거셀 때라 배 위로 복귀하는 데에 매우 어렵고 공포스러운 경험을 하게 되었습니다. 이는 uncertified 다이버들에게도 발생할 수 있는 문제이니만큼, 반드시 심각하게 다뤄주셨으면 합니다.

My girlfriend and I had a great time scuba diving for the first time with our instructor David Lin. He was very patient and ramped things up at the perfect pace until we were comfortable swimming by ourselves a short distance away. Highly recommend for anyone interested at all in trying out scuba!

Had a great time on the over-night stay. My daughter learned to scuba dive and it was an incredible experience. DAVID was amazing!! He was patient and so knowledgeable. He took his time teaching her and video taping her experience. She is now a scuba fan and can’t wait to get certified. Thank you David for making this trip a memory she will never forget. YOU made this trip so worth it. That staff was great and the food delicious! Beds very comfy and clean. Just bring your own snacks and coffee 😊

Amazing experience aboard the Reef Encounter! I had an incredible time learning to dive and earning my Open Water certification with the Reef Encounter team. The entire process felt safe, relaxed, and enjoyable thanks to my instructor Elea. She was patient, highly knowledgeable about diving and marine life, and made every step of the course easy to follow. A massive shoutout to Carlos the legend behind the camera for getting some awesome photos that I’ll treasure forever!
