With a full boat we had a lot of equipment, we all worked together well so
room was adequate. 

  

Overall Rating

 Betty and I arrived 4 days early to Cabo and stayed at the Solmar Hotel.
The Solmar is walking distance from town and sits on a near empty white
sand beach facing the Pacific Ocean. Great food, nice pool and room.  
If you want to see coral, go to the Caribbean. If you want to see fish come
to the Sea of Cortez. 
Rooms are very small on the SolmarV and were in and upgraded room. 
Something I was very upset about was that we would have to ask for snacks
between dives and sometimes did not get them or they would arrive during
the next dive!  I literally had to ask all 3 of the DMs what was going on
with the food and finally I had to go bitch to the cook on the 2nd day. We
should not have to beg for food on a high end live aboard.  The rest of
food was just ok.
The dive crew was not too bad as DMs, nice group of guys. Two Pangas are in
the water at all times when divers are in the water to keep an eye out for
you and pick you up if you prefer a ride back to the boat.
 Betty loved the chase of a pod of pilot whales that they first thought
were dolphins on one of the pangas. We also spent most of a glorious day
diving with sea lions. Was very much hoping to see a hammerhead, did not
happen.
