Comments	Had a fun time the beginning of December on the TC EX II. The dive briefings were excellent, describing the dive site, planned route of the dive guide, as well as options if conditions changed. The dive guides pointed out interesting critters. Great crew; Jo especially adds interest to the trip and dive adventures. We had very clear water and got lots of wonderful underwater pictures. Conditions were good for both some wide angle and macro. Divers do not have to go with the dive guide, and we tended to dive a bit before/after/or to the side since we were taking photos. Learned about many new creatures, too. The week just ended too soon.
