2 liveaboard reviews for “MV Temu Kira”

  1. As background, I am a PADI Master Diver with abut 3,000 dives, 40 years experience and have dived everywhere except the Poles.

    I have been eight times on Grand Komodo boats, four times on the Temu Kira, each time better than before. The dive company is excellent, and the crew, captain and dive guides are the best, tops in my book. Highly recommended.

    • Hi Elias!
      Thank you for taking the time to share your review of diving on the Temu Kira with us! I’m glad you’ve had a great experience… times 4!

      Wishing you only more amazing diving experiences.
      Safe bubbles, always!
