Overall Rating

This is my second trip aboard this ship; the other one was January 2004 to
Milne Bay (of which I submitted another report). This time I took a group
of 13 mostly experienced divers from Mexico and Guatemala. From day one we
were treated like royalty by AJ (British Cruise Director) and the rest of
the crew. Service and food was twice as good as the year before (this
people do listen to comments); as a matter of fact sometimes we felt like
we were in a fancy restaurant!, thanks to Warwick the Australian chef.
Everything in this ship is big: rooms, dive equipment and camera
facilities, living room (3 TV's), 2 dining areas (in & out), etc.
Sam, the Aussie photo pro was very helpful and available for tips and
everything to do with video or still shots. They have Papuan and Australian
"finders" to lead you to a special place or critter.
Diving was great because Kimbe Bay combines some of the "muck
diving" of Milne Bay with pelagics in the open ocean. We saw
Nudibranchs, Anemone fishes, Clownfishes, Barracudas, Jacks (Trevally),
Unicorn Surgeonfishes, Emperor, Blue Girded, Six Banded and Yellowmask
Angelfishes, Anemone Shrimps, Pyramid Butterflyfishes, Morays, Batfish,
Leaf Scorpionfish, Demon Stingers, Napoleon, Grey Reef, Silvertip and
Whitetip Sharks, Pigmy Seahorses, Turtles, Lionfish, Cuttlefish, Snappers,
Humphead Parrotfish, Pipefish, Squid, Juvenile Harlequin Sweetlips,
Mandarinfish, Clown Triggerfish, Ribbon Eel, etc.
