Overall Rating

The boat service is a as good as advertised.  This is the most effortless
diving I've ever done.  The crew was there for your every need.  The cabins
are large and comfortable with good size bathrooms.  Sundeck is beautiful
and spacious.  The food was outstanding; a mix of Thai and western food. 
There was always plenty to eat with enough variety that no one was
disappointed.  Beer and wine were extra.

The diving was good to great.  Richelieu Rock was fantastic!  You could
dive it all week and not see everything.  Myanmar was nice although
visibility was limited at times.  Black Rock was my favorite.  Trust the
guides.  At Twin Peaks one afternoon the dive was great, no current,
Mantas, octopus, sea snake etc.  The next morning by the end of the dive it
was flag pole diving on the mooring line.  Critter sightings were great,
Ribbon eels, mantas on 1/2 the dives, Leopard sharks, plenty of octopus
(including a couple mating), cuttlefish, all varieties of Nudis, lots and
lots of tropicals including 6 Line Soapfish.

All diving was from dinghies.  Most days there were 5 dives available.  On
the two travel days only three.  There was no need to find the boat as the
dinghie drivers were right there when you surfaced.  Nitrox 32 was offered
for a small up charge and well worth it.  Computers are required.

Its a long trip from the US so give yourself a couple of days on shore to
get acclaimated.  We spent a few days in Bangkok and a couple of days at
the Chedi in Phuket.  Both quite nice.

This was really a fantastic trip!
