Expensive camera gear was stored on the floor of the "salon" where it was in the way, and subject to getting kicked and tripped over. Definitely a problem. |

I wish I had known that the accommodations did not include any space to store any clothing that you were not wearing. A simple plastic tub under the bottom bunk would have made it much easier to get your things organized. Air conditioning stopped working in our room, and it was too hot to sleep. The A/C didn't work well in the rest of the boat either, after about the 2nd day, not sure what went wrong with it! The water pump (for fresh water) kept going on the fritz so you never knew if there was going to be water when you turned the tap on - always, it seemed, when I already had liquid soap on my hands! Also noise was a problem, with that many people (10 divers plus 4 crew) on a 65 foot boat whenever one person put in a movie or CD EVERYONE had to listen to it. The front deck was not accessible for most of the trip because that was where the bait for the shark dives was being stored. The shark diving was fabulous, the rest of it I definitely could have done without. This boat is about a 4 day max, unfortunately it was a 7 day trip. |
