Dive Review of
Big Blue Explorer in
Micronesia/Palau

 Throughout the Carribean and Costa Rica 

Dive Conditions

The crew HIGHLY encouraged the use of dive computers.  You could dive with
the guide or with your buddy at your own profile.  Most everyone used
NITROX.  

All the dives were minutes away from the main ship.  The main ship had a
room dedicated to photgraphic equipment.  

Overall Rating

The ship is an old Japanese communication vessel.  The good news is that it
is huge!  There is lots of room to move around and the ship is stable.  The
bad news is that because it was built to Japanese hieght standards, you may
have some areas like the stairs that are low and you will bump your head. 
The beds are short and the matteresses are really thin.  Having said all
this, the crew (particularly Lynne - mgr) are happy to take care of any
needs they can.  My hot water was out on my shower and I mentioned this to
Lynne before a dive, and it was fixed when I got back.  The crew is very
knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun,  The food is buffet style and very
very good.  Sharks were everywhere.  This is a high energy dive experience.
 Those who were not NITROX certified took the course.  The video of the
dives were awesome.  This is truely a dive trip of a lifetime (Jellyfish
Lake, Blue Corner, German Channe, Crystal Cavern, and sharks sharks
