Comments	The only thing I wish I had known before leaving home was that they were not booked for the following week!!! This boat was our replacement after the Palau Agressor had a mishap with a container ship and was put out of commission the week before we were scheduled. Nervous as to what we were settling for, we were more than pleased with the result. Cabins were spacious, comfortable, clean and well equipped with their own toilet, sink and shower. (Ok, maybe a little more hot water if your the last one in but it was never COLD). Lots of AC plugs and a small desk in each cabin with dimmable lights no less! Top deck had lounge chairs. Master cabin had it's own private deck and TV/VCR/Refrigerator. Food was a new resturant each night. With four meals and five dives a day, all we did was eat and dive. Service was 5-star. Nitrox, Air available with Tri-mix on the way. This boat was built from the ground up as a live aboard, serious dive operation. I think we found a hidden treasure in the Ocean Hunter II.

Enforced diving restrictions	Depth was suggested. Because of drift dives, time was limited so the boat could collect all the divers at the same time. However, divers could could surface early if needed so most divers stayed to 700psi.

UW Photo Comments	Unbelievable!!! 12 Large 24x24, Covered, padded, semidry shelves with 12, 110v and 12, 220v plugs for chargers. Warm DRY towels ready for persons and gear after each dive. Large rinse tank at dive platform. Very Nice high speed PC and huge monitor in common area for reviewing photos. Printer available. This is the best setup I have EVER seen for serious photographers. I had both still and video cameras with lights. Almost every one of our 14 divers had camera equipment. We had plenty of space and extra left over.
