Comments The crew was knowledgeable. That was the only good part of this trip. This is a big metal cork of a boat. I got seasick for the first time ever on it. I made the first dive and was exhausted by the end of it. There is a large platform to get back on the boat I was not used to. No one helped me back on. Then I got sick and was puking over the side. No one even asked if I was OK. I had to sit out the next 2 dives of the day because of being sick. By the last dive there were 5 people having to sit out from being seasick. This is not a boat that makes for a comfortable ride. I will never dive this operation again.
