Life-changing experience

Having the chance to live aboard the Oceana Maria has truly been one of the best experiences of my life. Being an amateur diver, I felt like a peewee player batting in the major leagues. I was nervous, excited, intimidated and extremely thrilled all at the same time. My first trip aboard the boat was in 2004 when Tita Mary and her family invited me, my husband, sister and some friends to go on a trip to Palau. It was my 3rd time to ever go under water and although I was totally inexperienced, the dive master, captain, crew and team were so amazing so I felt at ease. Living on the Oceana Maria for 7 days felt like a home away from home – except this was better because you woke up every morning in paradise. The accommodations are extremely comfortable, food is over flowing, crew is top notch and I guarantee that being on this boat will change your life forever!
