Comments	I wish I had known about these folks before I left home. We found them because the company I contacted (from the cruise ship) was closed on Monday, so they turned us over to Amedee. You do need to know that you will be gone over lunch and they only provide tea, coffee and EXCELLENT pastries, so if you need more than that, you need to bring it. I think the company is fairly new, but they really try hard. For me, as I have said, the subjects available to shoot, made up for any shortcomings on the part of the boat or operators. I will definitely be going back, and when I do, I will be diving with Amedee again. I will also be asking them to recommend a resort to stay at and I am sure it will be very, very nice.

UW Photo Comments	There was nothing much done for UWP, BUT they didn't know that we were UWP before we came and when they set the boat up. The subjects available to shoot more than made up for the lack of rinse tanks!!!!!!!
