Comments	Although advertised as a new boat, the condition of the boat was less than acceptable. Rooms were adequate in size and air conditioning acceptable. Food was ordinary. The captain is very knowlegeable and entertaining. The crew was helpful and friendly. However, if you want nitrox, you better arrange before hand. Dive sites were interesting. Enjoyed seeing the distant lights off Cuba and the two blue holes in Cay Sal. This trip was worth taking; but the price was excessive for the quality of the boat. Either refurbish the boat or lower the price to match the value. On the other hand, invest in some cleaning aids, paint and new carpet.

UW Photo Comments	Hauling camera equipment from the platform area to the camera table was cumbersome. Work area on table was modest considering the number of divers on the boat and the number of photographers.
