Second trip on the Aqua Cat and positively impressed by the quality of service, facilities, and crew. Deserves rating as one of the best live aboards regardless of location. Dove the Exumas and Eleuthera so sites were not "over dived" and fish and critters plentiful. Able to do 5 dives per day, including night dives. Good selection of wall dives offering variety at depth as well as a more leisure pace atop the wall. Favorite dive sites included a shark feed dive and several "high speed" drift dives. Crew maintains a positive attitude, places an emphasis on diver safety, and treats divers as responsible guests. Boat well maintained and cabins roomy and clean. Large salon and dining area able to easily accommodate all divers at one seating. Lots of hot water and adjustable AC thermostats in each cabin. Deserving of special mention is Chef Kirk who does an outstanding job of preparing and presenting tasty meals and snacks. Overall, excellent value for money! |
