| Comments | Fourteen crew for only 11 guests! This was concierge diving. The crew could not be helpful enough, very attentive. They celebrated our return to the boat with a large cheer and constantly referred to use by first names. Dry towels personally draped and refreshing drinks were served after each dive. There were at least 2 crew on deck at all times throughout the night at least when I was awake. Sanitation was emphasized but no one (guests or crew) wore a mask throughout the trip. | ||
