Comments This was a trip of a lifetime and the crew on this boat are beyond wonderful! We were treated like royalty. The food was fantastic and plentiful. Nothing like coming up after a dive to a warm towel and a fruit smoothie! I actually gained weight on this trip! I have been on several live aboards and this rivaled them all. Cannot say enough about the accommodations. Beds were quite comfortable. Air conditioner work very well and the rooms were kept very clean. Top of the line bathroom toilet paper and bar soap speak a lot about caring for the guest. Eddie and Moses were great dive guides and taught us all how to use the reef hooks and really watched out for us. One diver carelessly dropped his very expensive camera and Eddie caught up with it at 140 feet. He didn't have to do that but he did!
Arlee was a fabulous chef and really focused on the individual guest if they noticed a specific like. He sings like an angel and has a beautiful smile. I could talk all day about each and every member of the crew and how great they are. They made the trip magic.
Fantastic diving! Lots to see and all very well organized. Dive boat very comfortable and sites all close. Would definatly dive with them again! Mark and I give highest marks!!
