Comments	I had previously been on the "old" boat. This boat is great! It holds 18 passengers, which might get a little tight, but the week we went we had 6 guests (and 6 crew). We had a beginner diver with us, as well as a camera dude, and everyone was well taken care of. There was some surge, making the re-entry onto the boat somewhat dicey after some dives, but the crew was always there to help. Room 1 is all the way forward, with a queen bed (no overhead bunk). Rooms 2 & 3 are slightly smaller than the rest (but not appreciably). There are flat screens in all the rooms, individual AC, hairdryers, en suite bathrooms with soap & shampoo. There are 2 hot showers on the dive deck (with shampoo & conditioner), and all our dives were done from the boat. There was also a hot tub on the upper deck. There were soda, juices, water, coffee, tea, local beer, and wine available. The sea mounts were the dive highlights for me, as were the 2 whale sharks on the last day. The diving was cooler than I thought it would be...most all of us were on the "cool" side in 3mm, wishing we had a bit more neoprene! Water temps are noted above. The crew...they make this boat what it is. Captain Nestor really tries to get out of the weather (mostly wind/surge), and find great areas to maximize your dive week. Naja is nothing short of amazing, as is Saby, John, Candy, and Marna. Another plus was being greeted at the airport in San Pedro Sula by a crew member, and escorted to our connection, and the same on the return. A crew member actually made the 30 minute flight with us both ways! I would dive on this boat anytime!
