Comments | A great trip - helpful/friendly crew. Luggage was delayed for many on the inbound trip - boat altered plan; loaned gear; and did all the work to track and recover the bags! Cabins were very clean and quite big - with lots of storage space -- as big as a cruise ship cabin which I thought was uncommon on a dive boat. Great dives, although the reef was not in great condition. Optional shore trips were great - as was the a nighttime beach campfire party. Interesting drift dive -- the washing machine -- lots of fun. Food and facilities were outstanding. A first class operation. Shark dive was exciting. Nitrox available. | ||
