Comments	The good-the diving was fantastic as was the dive guides and the food. The boat was a bit tired and basic but it was comfortable. The cabin my friends stayed in was uncomfortably small. Make sure you specify a larger cabin. A donhi is used which is a plus because it is spacious for your dive gear, donning and undonning. Plus entering and exiting the water was easy. There is not much of anything to see or do in Male. I think/suggest the operator should arrange transfers for its guest to and from their hotel to the boat. A real plus was free nitrox and no extra charge for a 15 liter tank. The boat used steel cylinders which were heavy, but they in many cases eliminated the need to wear weights.
