Camera room was well set-up; rinse tanks were huge. The crew handled cameras like they were their own. |

This is the best liveaboard crew we've ever experienced. Their smiling faces and top-notch service were unparalled. The boat is beautiful; rooms are spacious and comfortable; storage is great. The food is wonderful and varied; Thanksgiving dinner was spectacular! The diving is world-class and the dive briefs were comprehensive. Reef preservation is stressed and wonderful between dive videos were shown throughout the week educating divers to the things they were seeing and great marine behavior emphasis to make everyone's dives more enjoyable. The crew handled divers and gear fantastically. The new cruise directors, Grant & Sonia, easily stepped into the former cruise directors' shoes without missing a beat. They were enthusiastic and related well with their Fijian crew. Grant's trip DVD was fantastic. We enjoyed the crew's singing throughout the week and the Meke they did on-board near the end of the week. We thoroughly enjoyed this week of diving in Fiji. It made a fabulous start to a 6-week South Pacific Adventure. |
