Comments	The CEI is in need of serious maintenance: a. Occasional drop in water pressure to zero, no water from faucets; b. Nitrox 27-29%, only hit 32% one day out of the week; c. Water purification produced brackish water; d. Cabin air conditioning only blew outside air (better than nothing). Food in general so-so. Eggs for breakfast only one morning in spite of request. Food on the CEI definitely needs to be looked at. The crew were terrific, always ready to assist, very skilled. Dive briefings were among the best I've ever seen. 2/3 of the dive sites are covered with lettuce leaf algae and fishnet algae, which has a major effect on fish populations. The rest of the sites were clear and had good fish populations and variety of species. Please see my separate report on an outstanding accommodation in Georgetown, very worth an extra couple of days on land.
