Hi! I ended up on this liveaboard very randomly, half way across a long journey in africa and I have to say it’s been amazing! I hadn’t dive in a while but it was no problem, the crew was professional, helpful and friendly! The vessel is just like the picture show…. luxurious and stunning! Everything is in a clean contemporary design and super cozy. The food is tasteful, hot and there’s plenty to drink!
I might actually become a liveaboarder after this first experience! Divezone, you do a great job on giving so much great information! Thanks!

Just spent a week diving on My Lucy boat with 21 friends and family. It was one of the best diving experiences I’ve ever had. The staff is amazing and very friendly. They took care of us from the second we got on the boat until we left. They all are well trained and very focused in giving attention to all the requests we had. The rooms and beds were comfortable. The food was amazing. Everyday we had different and delicious food with 3 meals a day. The kitchen and bar staff were incredible. The diving crew were amazing and gave attention to detail like I’ve never seen in any other diving centers. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in spending a great and maxing week diving. We all as a group felt that the crew was part of our family as they took care of us as if we were their family. The diving masters were incredible. Thank you Ricardo and Ali for Making our trip become one of the memorable trips ever. Love you guys! Big kudos to Ali (dive master). You are one amazing person. Thank you all and can’t wait to get back next year.
