Comments	The staff is the best part of the boat. At any time, they would go out of their way to meet your requests, and we did have some demanding divers on our trip. But, don't let them attempt to service u/w electrical equipment. Just tell them "no thank you" when they offer their services on these items. We had a few floods after their attempt at repair. Fix it yourself, or put it away for the rest of the drip. The dive masters could be a little more environmentally sensitive when helping us find macro objects. The macro opportunities were mind boggling. But if you want lots of large pelagics, you would be better off with Golden Dawn in the Eastern Field. Most of sharks were seen on feeding dives. We did encounter many baracuda and large jack schools, and there were plentiful turtles. Again, the macro, corals and tropicals were awesome. This is not a luxury boat. The rooms are a tad small, your laundry may end up in another state room, the cooking is not gourmet, but the food is plentiful and nutritous. Josie runs a tight ship and Alan usually shows up for supper. He did not dive on our trip. The crew did a great job washing our dive equipment at the end of the cruise.
