Comments	This was a group of 12 friend. Six divers, six non-divers. From the very beginning in Nassau we felt like were an annoyance more than customers. The positive was the quality and quantity of food that one young chef (Anrie)could provide from the small galley. The diving was ok, not outstanding. The sleeping accommodations were tight, but ok we're on a boat. For whatever reason the captain found it necessary to dive the same sites two and in one case with a night dive three times. Very disappointing for being on a boat. Also, we were with the impression that there would be some beach time available for the non divers. When we asked about going to where the swimming pigs were, again the captain seem visibly annoyed that he was going to have to sail there. Let me mention this stop is advertised on their website. One more incident involved one of the non-divers wanting to have an alcoholic beverage and Captain Sam told her no because she might be getting in the water later. Overall, after planning this trip a year in advance it was one of the most disappointing trips we have done. I would not waste my time doing it again and that seemed to be the opinion of the rest of the group. To many better options out there.
