Comments	Went with a group of 5 Northeast divers and 1 California diver; there were no others on the boat. Because we all were friends, our view may not be representative of individuals. An excellent, idiosyncratic boat run by an idiosyncratic captain; I would not trade either for anything. Rooms were comfortable but smallish and oddly shaped(heads were large); food was decent but not memorable (but who cares -- the diving was); attention to customers was excellent. Geezer gas was available albeit at extra charge. Once the dive crew got to know that we were competent (5 of us dive in the Northeast, usually decompression dives, often past 130 feet; the California diver demonstrated that he learned our style fast), limits were not imposed.
