Large, multi level table,with compressed air, just for photographers. Separate charging station could have been a bit larger, but every one shared the multiple strip connections. |

Great room, with large comfortable bed, adequate storage, and good private bathroom and shower. Good A/C with a controllable thermostat. 5-STAR service and gourmet dining, unexpected greatness in a third world environment. Friendly, smiling, happy crew that made sure you had a great time. Captain Alan Rabbe, dined with a diffent group every evening, was very personable and a great story teller. Chef Andrew produce fantastic meals, even for the vegetarians. His Death by Chocolate dessert was trully to die for. Service was superb, you could not even get up to refill you glass without the crew offering to do it for you. Captain "Rabble's" humor kept everyone laughing and his crew functioning perfectly; they even put your fins on you. We moored over great dive sites, making long swims unnecessary. A special trip to the "Witus" for muck diving was incredible. Ken Kenizick at Island Dreams professionaly handled every obstacle, making the trip hassle-free except for Air Nuigini's 66 lb baggage allowance and 11 lb carry-on requirement. The "BEST" of the 8 liveaboards we have been on. We truly had the time of our lives as the song goes!! |
