Overall Rating

We had two wonderful trips aboard the Sea Hunter, one in January, one in
August. There were less sharks, but sunny weather during the January trip.
Both rides in and out were glassy smooth, but this was a matter of sheer
luck. The diving is magnificent and the crew aboard the Sea Hunter is very
experienced and superior. During the January trip, there were unusually
strong currents and icy thermoclines. In August, it poured rain non-stop
and there were dozens of shark finning boats pumping their bilge, dumping
their trash,and brazenly fishing within park limits. A handful of
ill-equiped park rangers attempt to curtail these activities using
transportation that resembles an old rowboat with single outboard  
attached. Personally, I find it difficult to completely enjoy an
environment in which such a trajedy is occuring. The dive boats, however,
are playing an important role in chasing away the bad guys.
So,everybody go!
