Comments The boat was run on a level of orgainization that was outstanding. We had excellent dive briefings that included where to go, what you could see, and what to stay away from. You could run your own schedule and dive your own profiles. Deep penetration into the wrecks was best done with a guide but there was so much to see that we did that very few times. During the week we went to twelve wrecks and most of the dives lasted around 60 min. I had one deep dive on the San Francisco Maru which was a planned deco dive that went to 175' for 14 min with my computer indicating 11 min of deco time. Lots to see and so little time...The food was good, fresh, and plentiful..not gourmet but very adequate. The staff was very attentive and helpful in doning and doffing gear. The nitrox fills were always over 3000psi and I loved the freedom to go at my pace and see as much as possible. The sea life on the wrecks is incredible and this boat is the best. If you are a wreck diver, I would go in a heart beat.
