Camera table outside and another inside, though we usually used the dining
room table to change film, etc.  Good light and lots of space.  Each room
also had a desk space if desired.  Charging capability at 120V, so no
adapter or converter needed.  Excellent care by the staff of camera
equipment.

This was by far our favorite liveaboard in 16 years of diving.  The captain
and crew were remarkably friendly and knowledgeable and the dive sites
were, for the most part, excellent.  The corals, walls and bommies were the
most colorful we've seen, and the fish life was abundant.  We shot a roll
on each dive and oftentimes wished we could reload underwater.  Food was
first-rate and the accommodations (we had the owners' suite) were the
nicest we've had (we also checked out the other rooms, and they were
spacious, too), with everything on one level.  Boat holds 10 divers and we
were lucky to have only 6.  Village tour on Thursday night was a highlight,
as were are 3 dives on E-6 and our private dive (my husband and I didn't
want to repeat the shark dive, while the others did) on a reef where we saw
a squadron of eagle rays and then 3 mantas!  We'll definitely be back.
