Comments	Outstanding crew. Excellent boat. Food was very good. Diving was about as expected, good but not great. Fish densities were fair, but not quite as great as expected. Fewer large animals than hoped, though to be fair, saw sharks, rays and turtles on almost every dive. Just not as many as hoped, nor as varied. Focus of dive crew was mostly on macro life, which suited many of the divers but not all. The crew went well out of their way to provide good service and lead good dives. Not sure that I would return to Turks and Caicos, but will definitely do another Explorer Ventures liveaboard.
