Comments The corals are amazing. The fish life was both diverse and prolific. A reef hook is a must. A number of the dives go down to the top of the wall and you "hook in" in strong currents to watch the pelagic life parade by. Its not as difficult as it sounds, but you do need to have a reef hook. The dives not involving reef hooks had either gentle current (no effort diving) or no current.

The boat one onboard and diving staff are top notch and always willing to help. My wife and I are both older and need to remove our tanks in the water rather than climbing out with them on. The crew was more than happy to help us.

All of the diving is done from a Large Speedboat, which means remote areas can be reached easily. The divemasters were particularly sensitive to current and made sure we were always going with it. The chase boat meant we never had to swim to the boat. Diving was slow and effortless with lots of time to take pictures.

UW Photo Comments Everyone carries a camera. There is a dedicated area with lots of room for the camera with lots of both 110v and 220 volt outlets. We each had a space and used it for the entire dive. The camera only went to the room to download pictures. There is an air hose on deck for drying your camera prior to disassembly.
