Comments	It really was all good. The crew was very accomodating. The showers were hot. The other divers were great to hang out with after the dives. Everyone was extremely helpful. It was the first dive for my girlfriend since her Certification a year earlier. She had a great time as well. The boat was very nice and spacious. The Truth Aquatics website gave a great list of what to bring on the dive and what not to bring. There was a great area to clean our catch and they actually had a freezer on board to keep all the divers' catch during the trip. Our gear usually dried overnight in the hanger area below deck (next to the engine room). Our tanks were filled quickly and ample. There was plenty to eat and the food was great! They acually made accomodations for those divers who were vegitarians (I wasn't one of them). The only complaint I could have had was that another diver had accidently taken my wetsuit and turned it in as a rental to the shop. One of the folks from the shop found me in the parking lot and returned my suit. I would recomend this outfit (Truth Aquatics) and the Channel Islands as a great diving experience for beginners and experienced alike!

UW Photo Comments	Area to rinse Photo gear. Space to work on digital equipment. I actually accidently lost my camera on a night dive. It floated to the top and one of the crew members dove in the water to retrieve it for me! She gave it to me when I surfaced.
