Comments Very accommodating dive leaders and crew. Let us alone in the water if that is what we wanted or also happy to guide. They haul all equipment to metal tenders, we don there and backroll in. Will help out if you want to get in without BC or get into boat the same way.
Room very small but has own shower toilet. Lower double bunk and upper single. Ladder hard to negotiate, particularly at night. We had 2 guests injure themselves (not severely) on the bed ladder. Lower mattress very indented from people sitting there. Always rolled to that edge.
Solomons changed policy right before we left so didn’t have to get a PCR test but did have to do an antigen test there before getting on boat. They supplied.
The health of the coral and fish life was very impressive. Food very plentiful and always good. Loved the trip.
