Comments Have been on this live aboard before, about 5 years ago. Think the coral was actually healthier, sharks were more frequently but it seemed that small reef critters were present in smaller numbers. Turtles were frequent. I noted that the itinerary was shorter than last time, I suspect due to fuel prices. Didn't get over to East Caicos or Grand Turk this time. 25 dives in 6 days.
The boat was clean with great crew and food was very good. What you expect from a live aboard. Crew was excellent. I would go back again, but only to be with dive buddies, if our dive club votes to go back. Very easy to get there from USA. Have to comment that I'm somewhat of a "jaded" diver. Definitely recommend however.
