Comments Very comfortable boat, good food, nice people, well organized by Amazing Adventure Travels; everything taken care of.

Staff awesome, as good as it gets. The multitasking waiters, massagers, gear assistants etc etc were the best I have ever seen.

A couple of dives had strong current (had to abort one dive). I got swept away from the group and sucked down but after coming up was found immediately by the boat drivers.

Advise a layering of wetsuits as there was a variety of water temps.
