Comments Great boat, super friendly and competent crew and lots and lots of diving. The food was very good, briefings were very good and lots of great interaction with the crew.
We had pretty bad weather, lots of rain, wind and waves. The boat broke free of 2 moorings that week while most of us were diving. The 2nd time was our last dive of the day right at dark in 4' seas and we had an emergency recall and wild open water pick up using the BA3 as Captain Jerome and the crew did a fantastic job of getting us back on the boat with only a few bruises suffered.
We played lots of cards in the saloon instead of sun on the ledo deck, but hey it was a rainy not sunny trip. Still saw lots of reef sharks, super friendly groupers, many species of fish including several toad fish and nice coral structure. Made it to the Blue Hole in between storms and then made a run for a protected mooring.
