Comments	This was probably the favorite liveaboard trip I have every been on. The FeBrina is an older ship but well laid out with little wasted space. Living quarters are below deck and down a ladder of stairs. Crew helps with getting suitcases down for unpacking and up when departing. Some of the rooms are small but we had the room at the bow which we found comfortable enough. Food was very good at all meals. The crew is wonderful to a person. Dive guide Digger was a great spotter and took his time on each dive. He gave my wife some photography tutoring that really helped her. The signature itinerary goes to the Witu Islands where some muck diving for small critters is done, some of the sites in Kimbe Bay near Walindi (where the ship docks) and Father's reef where the corals were outstanding, the fish population huge and the visibility crystal clear. Schools of barracuda circled at almost every site. Batfish squadrons were present at nearly every site as well. We saw friendly turtles and I had a white tip shark bounce its nose on my mask. One day we did a shark feed dive with silver tips and got some great video and still shots. We will return to the FeBrina again without doubt.
