Comments As usual, Ocean Frontiers and their staff did a great job. We've used the 7-day package (7 nights, 5 2-tank dives, rental car) several times and always have been pleased. We saw sharks, turtles, healthy coral, and lots of other marine life on our dives. Dives were led by dive masters who knew what to look for and where (once in a great while they did seem a little uninterested). Dives were 45-50 minutes guided and then stay down as long as you wished at the end of the dive. Service on board was great. New small bowls for masks were excellent and left the camera bucket clear for cameras! Like the new boats a lot. We usually lunched in the room and then out for dinner at Over the Edge for shrimp boil and Tukkas for fancy dining. Both really good. Did try bbq under the tree and it was good. Didn't do Vivians this time, but it's always been tasty. This is an annual trek for us, so I don't usually post, but the plea for a post from the editor got me moving.
