Comments	Good operation with much better food than the previous trip.Due to sronger currents did not see the same diversity of both dive sites and of critters.Example we stayed 2 days on the Yongala.The day before We dove Wheeler's Reef 2 divers were blown off the reef and found 8 hours later.We had to abort 4-5 dives because of those kind of conditions.This was quite a contrast from our earlier trip when we just dove incessantly in warmer water with less current.There seemed to be a new committment by management to improve service since Mike Ball bought back his company.
