Comments	The Good: The boat is well appointed and the crew is very helpful. The dive deck is roomy and easy to work from. Most dives are out and back from the Cuan Law. The sleeping room is large and comfortable, though it was quite warm.Food was superb. We are vegan and the food was excellent. The diving is typical Caribbean - lots of small critters, with an occasional large one. Diving was very much on your own, but guide was always in the water and would lead a tour, if desired. The crew know the waters and every dive site was carefully selected for conditions and divers. The Mediocre: The pre-dive briefing were notably inadequate. The actual presentation by the guides were often difficult to hear. One guide only addressed the divers to his left and those sitting to his right were left-out. The poorly drawn or totally absent site maps made understanding the dive difficult. Even though the diving is very easy, the lack of clear "what if" instructions and current information increased the overall dive risk. What I wished I had Known: I use professional level camera gear and the Cuan Law is not equipped to support it. The crew accommodated both my wife and I on our cameras, but it was a hard week for maintenance. Overall - glad we did it, had fun, but this is not a trip to repeat.
