with just 3 divers on a 10 night trip, we were concerned that the boat would limit its movement to save fuel. it was just the opposite, happily. the divemasters james and aiko being relatively new to the boat were game to go ! we moved around more on that trip than any other live aboards in our recent experience. the diving was so varied, from walls,to cuts, and swimthroughs.. to a few muck dives. most amazing variety of hard corals. One current dive featured 3 different types of baracudas, as much as 7 black tips and greys mixed..with bumphead parrots schooling in between hundreds of pyramid butterfly fish. Happy campers. |
