Plenty of camera space on the dive deck. Plenty of room for chargers. E-6
processing onboard. Light table in salon.  Crew was very accomodating to
photographers and the care they exercised with equipment. Cabins had plenty
room and electrical outlets for photographers also.

Good:
I rate this trip very highly.  Having experienced live-aboards around the
world, this crew and accomodations are first class. As a photographer I
found their photo amenities and layout, tops for both video and still.  On
board E-6 processing and a video produced by the crew using clients
footage. This trip will please everyone, hard-core diver to novice.  Plenty
of side diversions for those who choose to hike, kayak, beachcomb, snorkel
or fish.

Didn't Know:
Met the boat late afternoon of the 1st day, but did not depart until the
next morning. Wish the night dive was done before dinner, so you could
enjoy a glass of wine with the meal.

Bad:
Nothing
