Comments This is a very large old steam boat the captain owner has his wife and two young kids and relatives running around the boat. NO DIVE DECK! Lousey food poor service. Good tenders, defective water maker causing salt in the drinking water and in tea coffee. Spotty air condition. The wreck diving is great but at times very deep with no consideration for Padi rules. Some dives 170 feet. We booked for 11` days left after 7 forfiting the balance. This is a very poor dirty Country and a very poor boat.
