Our Club have used the boat several times. We normally go in October/Nov and have 4 days diving. It is without doubt one of the best (if not THE best) liveaboards in the UK. The standards is fabulous. The food is of better quality than most hotels. It is all hand cooked, they even bake their own bread, make their own soup etc. I have not been on every liveaboard but its the best I personally have been on. Once you yave been on it, you become more critical of the others.

We book the boat at the end of the dive trip for the following year irrespective of who signs up. It is never a trip we have problems with, trying to fill places.

We normally do the sound of mull stuff (Hispania,Thesis,Rondo, Shuna and Rondo) which although not too adventorous, is still very good. Next year we are extending and extra day and going to Skye.
Tapti is very good if you get the chance.

There are a few pictures on our club website. (Below)
