Comments	JA is a spacious boat with an expansive dive deck, large tenders (max 12 divers). Lower level contains aft engine room with small passenger berths forward (avoid rooms 8&9 due to noise and heat), next levels is dive deck aft and salon/lounge area forward containing two larger nicer passenger suites, next level up part sun part shade open deck aft with dining area and kitchen forward, upper level sun deck with hot tub and lounge area aft and covered tiki bar forward. Good media setup in lounge/salon. Easy inside stairwell from salon down to small berths below. Personal dive gear storage in large plastic bins which slide beneath seating. Good wetsuit hanging space with plenty of sturdy hangers. Large water coolers available to keep hydrated plus excellent ice machine. Large (2) camera tables (not rain proof) in center of dive deck. Hot water showers (2) and hot towels after every dive. Stocked coolers on each tender. Food is subpar for live aboard experience with much canned veggies and processed meat/cheese. Did serve lobster twice and fresh caught fish twice, otherwise food below average. Travel in and out of Cuba is readily available but cumbersome in regards to amassing required paperwork and coordinating schedules and transportation. Looking forward to normalized relations between US and Cuba to streamline the process.
