Comments	This trip met all my expectations--Sharks(hammerheads, galapagos, silky and reef white tips), whales and what makes this a once in a lifetime trip-- the giant mantas. We were not disappointed. They appeared on nearly every dive. Most were friendly and curious, as if they wanted to interact with us. We did, of course, and they rewarded us with the experience of a lifetime. Boat and crew are among the best I have had the good fortune to travel as a diver. Food was generally very good. Boat has nice wine selection and a large selection of microbrews. Only negative is the 24 hour steam from La Paz and return to Cabo San Lucas. We had great weather both ways, but with rough seas the passage would not be pleasant. Our trip was scheduled to leave from Cabo San Lucas, but because of a turf war between the Nautilus Explorer and the owner of the other boat with access to this group of islands ( the Solomar) we were forced to leave from La Paz. The crew handled this change well and made this merely an inconvenience.
