My husband and I have now been on the Atoll 3 times.The first time we had booked a week on the boat and a week on one of the Islands. THe day we were due to change over the Captain called us to his cabin and told us that our Island was over booked . He said we could stay on the boat for a further week or we could still go to the Island. 2 other couples were also made the same offer. We now think the boat was underbooked and she cannot sail with too few passengers. Ourselves and one other couple decided to stay on (if we had booked 2 weeks we would have paid more) On the second night of our second week a beautiful cake was brought to our table, with welcome back on it and when we went to our cabin, the beds had all been decorated with flowers and garlands. THe other couple also had theirs done, in a different design to ours.I cannot fault anyone on anything. WE returned 2 years later with our son who is a qulified diver and he says the staff and dive sites were perfect. He even did a night dive, where they encountered a tutle with a rope round his neck. They tried very hard to get it off but could not, but instructors reckoned they would see it again and be ready with a knife to free it. Our third trip was a little sad, as it was their first after the Tsunami. The boat had helped out in the disaster area and been used as a medical base..Some of the Islands and coral reefs had changed quite a lot. These 3 hols were the best I have ever had, wish the journey was not so long. We made good friends with whom we still keep in touch. If you like boats and snorkelling, good food, lethal ( and plentiful) cocktails, go for it. You will not regret it JIll
