Comments	The Nekton crew were competent, friendly and kicked back. The term "barefoot cruise" comes to mind, but, they were all experienced and professional. The food was plentiful and good to very good. The ship is quite comfortable and much roomier than either of the Aggressor ships or the "Spirit of Freedom" that I have lived aboard. We got in five dives a day without trouble, or hassle every day. I did get in 50 dives in two weeks without feeling constrained about start or return times. There was always a dive master willing to go in with you at almost anytime of the day. Once they knew you were competent they did not hover over the divers. The only thing I wish they had was more lighting under the ship for the night dives. Belize has an amazing coral reef that is very accessible and is truly a diver's paradise. It is the second time I spent two weeks in Belize and I am sure I will go back again someday.
