Comments  
 New boat, well maintained and clean boat with spacious accommodations.
Entire crew well qualified, committed to customer service, and stressed
safety at all times.  Excellent chef (Jim) who livened up meals with his
banter about just about everything.  Meals were well prepared, offered
great variety, and ample servings always available. 
Excellent wall dive sites usually populated by a variety of large and
small life.  Coral in good condition.  Installed mooring buoys helped to
preserve the anchorage sites. Shark feed dive a must that captured the
attention and interest of all aboard.  Shallow dives disappointing with
little life and drab surroundings.  Staff let you dive your own profile
and respected the abilities of experienced divers.  Excellent value for
money.
