Comments	Had a great trip with this operation and would dive with them again despite one major glitch. More than adequate boat, though better for younger divers than older divers due to lots of steep stairs to get between guest cabin and kitchen, dive deck, and bathrooms. We had one dive guide for each of two guests as boat was only half full on trip. Excellent service and teamwork on boat. Only downside was poor communication between PADI Travel and operator. We were instructed by PADI Travel to check in with the operator at 10am on day of departure. Boat operator had our phone numbers and email but didn't contact us or give us any specific instructions on check in procedures, so we literally missed the boat by 3 hours after traveling half-way around the world and arriving the day before. Dive operator worked out a way for us to catch up by departing on another boat (thanks Wicked Divers!) and meeting up in the evening, so we missed just 2 dives.
