He says that the boat charges a net price so price fluctuations are due to liveaboard agents rather than the boat itself. Sometimes there are last minute discounts to fill empty places but that wouldn't give the fluctuation you describe. Always worth checking prices with several agents and the boat direct before booking with any liveaboard.

The boat was above average as it is still fairly new, about 1yr+ old. In terms of business ethnics, they are not very smart to offer price differences. It sucks to know some paid over US2500, while others paid US1500. Afterall, divers and divers do talk and share certain information. Good trip, but felt short-changed after knowing what others had paid for. I will not recommend to others unless they are getting US1500(8D/7Ns) and not more.
