This was the first live-aboard for me.  Wonderful staff on board.  Crew of
8 took care of the divers.  Up to 5 dives available per day, including the
night dive.  Nitrox is available but at $150 cost per week.  the food was
incredible with the on board chef handling all requests.  Beef wellington,
pork tenderloin, smoked turkey, etc....  The diving in St Kitts is great
because there are not that many divers in this area of the Carribean.  The
coral is in great shape and the marine life is curious of you.  great dive
trip after the first day on board.  All of us got sea sick at some
point....
