9 nights on-board the MV Mermaid II for the Komodo/Bali/Komodo

Holiday description: 9 nights on-board the MV Mermaid II for the Bali/Komodo/Bali route The diving was fantastic with a huge variety of dive sites and marine life, especially for divers who are interested in Macro dives. The island excursion to “Komodo” was a great experience and a good chance to spend some time on dry land after several days aboard the boat. The crew aboard the Mermaid where great and really knew how to look after the guests. I also found the cabin spacious and very comfortable. This trip would be highly recommendable.
