Comments	What a great trip! This was not our first time diving with Explorer Ventures and we have never been disappointed on any trip. You can expect the same service on all the boats of Explorer Ventures. The crews are all happy and more than willing to serve the guests. Such where the crew on board T&C Explorer. Casey, Simon, Martin, Mark, Stan the Man,who has been cooking on live-aboards for over 20+ years and last but not least Capt. JF, whom we have know for many years. There were 18 guests and each of us were taken care of as if we were the only ones on board. You are greeted each morning with a smile and, "what would you like for breakfast?" Then, off to diving. It was a good week for diving. Nice weather for the end of Oct. We dove Northwest Point, West Caicos and French Cay. The diving was great. We saw pretty much everything except eagle wrays. Big things, little things and things in between. It was good not seeing many lion fish. The walls were beautiful and sheer and full of life. The only negatives were an unpleasant odor that hung around in the cabins for the first part of the week and then disappeared and secondly, deck towels need to be replaced with ones a little bit thicker. Positives; tanks topped out at 3000+ psi, filled quickly at end of each dive, divemaster in water at all times to lead those that want a guided tour or need a buddy.
