Comments	It was just as advertised on the web site, and captains log. I have around 300 dives and often drift dive in cozumel. the reef hooks and pass diving are challenging so a diver who isn't in good condition or experienced might be overmatched with these dives. however there are other dives that were easy and slow paced yet very enjoyable especially for photographers. Visability (100+) and water temperature (83) were great. Cabins were roomy and well layed out with storeage. The boat did have a rought time in crossings in choppy seas that made the ice machine and air condition go out which impaired sleep. Lots of manta and shark action in the pass dives. Some playful encounters with bottlenose dolphin (although I wasn't the lucky one to play with them). Schools of snapper, jacks and tropicals over hard coral fields were common. Several turtles. They are moving the boat from the tuamoto islands ( where this report is from) to the society islands to make the flight schedule easier and increase options because there are less currents there. Even though there were dives I could have used more than the 45 mins (the dive time averaged 50), having 4 dives per day didn't bother me, though there were some on board that did. The passengers were multi national. The crew upbeat and well trained. Helpful and effecient. I would highly recommend this trip to advanced / experienced divers. But be ready for the pass dives. The current is powerful......The boat safety and practice however alleviates any real concern.
