Overall Rating

The trip was an unexpected joy.  Half of my dive gear was lost en flight
and arrived two days late. The captain modified the itinerary to meet a
launch sent out from La Paz ferrying my luggage.  I just assumed I would
not see my gear until the week was over.  They made the extra effort seem
like their normal every day service. The visibility was much better than
anticipated. The crew was as good as any of the 7 live-aboards I have used.
 I do fish surveys for REEF and was surprised at the number of fish species
encountered.  We had two dives with 100+ visibility and 5 to 7 manta rays
that stayed between two sea mounts for the entire dive.  The Don Jose is a
smaller live-aboard, older, but comfortable.  The air conditioning was
easily controlled in my cabin and worked perfectly.  The owner of the Don
Jose has worked for years to protect the marine environment around La Paz
and that mentality manifests itself with the entire crew.  The food was
above average. I always can eat seconds and would have enjoyed larger
portions.
