Comments	I was warned this is not a fancy boat. This trip is considered a value trip. It would be "if", the breakfast,lunch and snacks were considerably better, and the toilet had a seat. No place to rinse wetsuits for the entire 6 day trip. The boat holds 10 divers, and the dining table holds only 9. What? Dinners were included in the resorts we stopped at each night and they were ok. There were almost always extra charges. Were were told there would be night dives and we only were offered one during the 6 nights. We were told ahead of time to expect extra charges for fees paid to dive in certain areas. At trips end, I was hit with about $90US in fees, which I did not appreciate since there was much garbage on every dive,(18). There were several Europeans that smoked cigarettes often. When I asked the trip leader to work something out with the smokers, first he asked why, then he suggested I do it myself! That alone made me not want to leave a tip, but that would have punished the other crew that worked very hard and were very friendly.

UW Photo Comments	The camera "tank" was the same 2 gal plastic bucket used for dipping mask before dive. Up to 5 small camera's in housings were jammed into it upon return from dives, often with very little water in it. My new camera housing was severely scratched up after 6 days of use Forget bringing any serious equipment!
