Comments	Great trip, excellent value for money. It would have been nice if Blackbeard offered to share the arrival flight info so divers could ride share to the boat. Personally, I should have brought 2 towels, one for cleaning up with and one for after dive drying off. Bring some of the spring clamps to use as clothes pins to hold wetsuit and towel to the safety line to let them dry and make sure to initial them as yours and not the boat's. The ship was in good condition, and the crew made the difference between just a good trip and great trip. The captain on my trip was Grayson who was always thinking a couple steps ahead and with him and his crew made the trip better than my expectations. I was very pleased with both the food and accomodations. The cook even made us a great conch salad one afternoon out of the conch that were caught on the trip.
