Comments	The CE II is a great value and well ran live aboard. If you like live aboards and haven't dived Statia and Saba, this is an excellent trip that I highly recommend. The diving at Statia and Saba were excellent. Highlights at Statia were dives in the marine reserve. The diving at St Kitts was above average at a couple sites. The cook Tony and the purser, Paul -- who was clearly overqualified for his job-- were excellent. The DM/ photo pro C. Lee was also first rate. The other two dm were so-so, but where harmless and left us all alone which is what I want and expect. The rooms were nice by live aboard standards with en-suite showers and heads. We had sea wasps on a night dive at Saba and the crew got out the saltwater hoses to aid divers on exits. No one was stung. This live aboard is the best value in the Caribbean!
