I don't shoot pix but the photographers on board seemed pretty happy.  They
do a photo contest at the end of the week and the pictures were
outstanding.

This was my first trip since getting NITROX certified, although I've been
diving for 17 years. Nekton folks made it simple and fun.  We only had 11
divers on a boat built for lots more so they gave all of us solo travelers
separate rooms.  A real classy move IMHO.  I would not want to have shared
one of those cabins with another guy.  Just too small for two guys.  Food
was very good.  Staff was excellent. Easy going, friendly & helpful
throughout the week  The Nekton SWATH design really does eliminate pitch
while making the passage to Brac & Little Cayman.  I took a dramamine
to be safe & slept well while we made that crossing.  They chose dive
sites that were outstanding almost every time.  There were tons of turtles,
a few sharks and Eagle Rays.  Very few morays for some reason.  Crabs &
lobster on night dives & the usual Carribbean cast of characters.
Overall, an
excellent trip   .
