Vessel Layout

The KLM Sunshine is a rather spacious vessel considering it welcomes only 8 divers. It’s hard not to compare it with it’s counterpart which offers scuba diving cruises in nearby Raja Ampat. Indeed, the Raja Ampat Aggressor is also 30 meters in length but welcomes the double number of guests and still is considered spacious!
