Comments	Fortunately, I had done some homework so I knew what was going on when I was offered a gem?!? to buy from one of the crew. In addition, what the travel book said about money changers was also true. Stay on your guard! The ship accommodations were substandard:in need of repair (rear cabin had a perpetually soggy floor, stale odor, head needed updating, on-board desalinator unable to keep up with demand,upper deck in/outdoor grass-like carpet was worn and frayed). The divemaster (1)was unable to give adequate pre-dive briefings as he'd had not much experience in the area. Saftey was not addressed: location of O2, life preservers, emergency procedures, location of emergency equipmnent. Officers and crew were not introduced. Food repetitive and uninspired, alcoholic beverages were $5 each. I hope to return to the area for diving, but I won't be utilizing this company.
