Comments	The boat is a large catamaran making it more stable than monohulls. They have 6 double rooms with twin beds, one king suite and one quad cabin. The rooms are nicely appointed and comfortable. Meals were good and plentiful. The salon is huge for a dive boat with a large screen TV and and dining space plus a large galley area. The dive deck is large and the diving is done off 2 hard bottomed inflatables. The crew is extremely attentive, guides were very good about pointing out small critters. The route we took was through the Banda Sea to the Misool area of Raja Ampat giving a good mix of large and small animals.

UW Photo Comments	Decent sized camera area on the upper deck near most of the cabins. Staff would bring cameras to and from the inflatables and rinse them after each dive, blow them dry and leave them on a table in the dive deck area.
