Comments first class operations. You needed a negative PCR test before leaving home. Evening before boarding the Boat you will be give another PCR test at the hotel hospitality suite takes a few hour for results. Your phone will ping with the results. The group had dinner together then boarded the boat. Mask must be worn , No self service of food , drinks . Cookies crew will get what every you want or need, Good safety briefing fire drill .ships set up for underwater photography big charging table. Crew member is up all night , nothing to be left plugged into any power supply. any amount of hot water you want, I could not find any fault in this dive operation . Crew is very friendly & hard working
