Comments	This was the reschedule of a trip scheduled for 2020. Blue O Two was great at honoring our reservation at the same price as originally booked. They also were very helpful in making arrangements before and after the dive boat. Would use this operation again. They have boats all over the globe. Blue Spirit has 12 divers in six cabins. Boat is old and showing wear, but good enough. Separate boat (called a dhoni) for dive gear and travel to sites. Crew was great. Food was adequate and they did a great job of accommodating all food preferences. Cruise Director Albert was very attentive. Three dives a day, no night dives. Most all dives were with very strong current (3-3.5 knots). Drop in before the channel and once in channel hook into the rocks and watch the action. Saw about 12 differents types of sharks (reef, hammerhead, bull, nurse, guitar) and 6 types of rays (including mantas). Also large fish (tuna, grouper, etc). Usually there were significant numbers of all types. Most of the divers on this trip had dove this itinerary before (one couple 6 times), so if you like this type of adventure this is the place to be.
