Comments	I wish I knew how bad the coral was. There is a lot of coral belching, a lot of the dive sites look like a bomb went off, it was just rubble. We were pretty well promised whale sharks and didn’t see a single one. With all the snorkel boats out there looking for them it didn’t surprise me we didn’t see one. I would not have booked this trip if I knew how bad the bleaching was. There are a lot better dive destinations for the money with healthier reefs. The Carpe Vita was a nice boat. The staff was very helpful the only complaint I had about the staff is I wished they spoke English better. Some of the briefings were hard to understand. The food was awesome. Our rooms were large with a nice bathroom. I really can’t say anything negative about the Carpe Vita, It was the diving that I was disappointed in and I wish the Dive operation ( Not Carpe Vita) that sold us the trip would have given us more detail about the destruction of the reefs. We had the whole boat with 20 of our divers
