Comments	Trip was from St. Kitts to St. Martin with diving in Saba(alternates departure from St. Marting to St. Kitts every other trip). Boat was clean and well maintained; good safety procedures; large dive deck and great ladders; crew crew of 6 worked very hard & service was very good. The cabins are small-don't take any extra stuff. The lounge/dining area is not air conditioned, but is a covered area on the upper deck. The food is good with a good variety and plenty of it. The diving was as expected, nothing spectacular: lots of macro stuff in St. Kitts & more fish in Saba. The coral and sponges looked healthy. Some sites had a bit of current, but diving quite suited to new divers. Some wreck dives. Up to 5 dives a day with a night dive every night except last day. Optinal land tours offered at both St. Kitts and Saba. We were lucky that there was no charter the following week so did not have to be packed & off the boat at 9am on Saturday. We also had a 2 for 1 special price so I definitely got my money's worth.
