Comfortable cabins with en suite facilities. Immaculately clean and maintained 15 passenger yacht with attentive staff and great food. The diving was amazing, particularly at Darwin I. Hundreds of hammerheads,feeding black tip reef sharks in a pack, Huge schools of tuna, angel fish,butterfly fish, creole fish, and more, 8 encounters with at least 5 different whalesharks! Scores of moray eels swimming and lounging about, many dolphins sighted in the water and from the surface,cleaning station activity. Eagle ray squadrons, a manta caught on tape, friendly and not so friendly sea lions, giant sea horses, black coral gardens and massive garden eel colonies. Above the water and below, the animals are unafraid and easily viewed. |
