Comments	This is for May and August 2009. M/V Spree is a 110 ft. steel hull that is set up excellent for diving 5 dives a day. One price all inclusive with 32% nitrox included. Boat is very well maintained and clean. Sleeping accomodations are bunk style below deck. Main salon has kitchen, dining area and large charging station. Food is excellent with snacks between dives from 7am - midnite. Four heads with flush toilets. Two private hot showers and two on the dive deck with ample hot water. Crew is very knowledgable and helpful where saftey comes first, by the end of the week they make you feel like your old friends. Diving is done mainly from morings with the first two dives on one site the next two and the night dive at another. Reefs are large enough to explore with two dives and not over lapping places. Most sites are close to Fort Jefferson and a midweek stop to explore is done if requested. The last day can include two dives on the Vandenberg off Key West, weather and currents permitting. This boat isn't the large luxury "chain" liveabords but for half the price it's worth more than twice the experience. www.spreeexpeditions.com
