Comments The diving, boat and crew were excellent. Especially Joji the captain and Moses the lead divemaster. They were helpful in pointing out critters that I would have missed. The boat was in excellent shape and very clean.
The hard and soft coral were in excellent condition. There were lots of tropical fish and many large fish including sharks and malibar grouper.
The visit to a local Gau Island village was very interesting and informative. There was excellent dancing and singing.
This is my third trip on Island Dancer and I would highly recommend it. The only difficulty was stronger currents on a few sites due to the New Moon causing higher than normal tides. The crew handled this problem well.
