Comments ​Great crew, really good food, nice fluffy towels, crew always cleaning up. Crew worked really well together ​and we appreciated having a night watchman (who also made sure there was coffee VERY early!).​

The charging area was in the lounge and not well laid out. There was a camera table on the dive deck but no protected area or room to work on the camera.

Diving was a little better than we've been seeing in the Caribbean. Not much color and some sights were really dead but there were a shark or 2 on most dives, lobsters, eels, a few rays, the usual reef fish, blennies​.
​
​We had perfect weather. The boat handled a little chop coming back to the marina effortlessly​.​
