The boat needed repair & updating.  The crew: the boat captain needs
training in customer relations, the dive instructor was totally lacking in
instruction and customer relations skills, the rest of the crew was very
helpful and friendly.  The cook served good meals and snacks. The hot tub
was broken.

Before trip information:do not stay at the Princess Hotel its a dump.
Even though steels nineties were used: they were filled to 2800psi.
The transportation: we (12) were crammed into a suburban with all luggage
and supplies purchased locally(beer-soda-snacks-etc..)

The diving was fair.  If the boat would have had 30 divers instead of
 12 divers the conditions would have been  very crowded.  The weather was
stormy the first few days and the captain did move the boat to calmer
waters.  The boat is very stable and has easy enter-exit to & from the
water.  The crew will dive with you if requested.
