Comments The sail Boat had only 12 divers for the week . Great. I had my own bunk and cabin. met divers from all over the world. ocean was flat no rain . viz was great .dive buddy I meet on board was from Canada.I have way over 1000+ dives .never ever had any problems. well after three days of diving the A/C worked off or full blast you take your pick. I cought a Head cold. had a problem equilizing and I pushed so hard trying to clear my ears I damaged my ear drum. I knew it right away.the crew asked me if I wanted to go to a Doctor in the Exzumas or Eleuthera islands. I told them no .rest of the week I snorkeled..viz was that good i was able to see the bottom and the other divers.Food was good . but you have to rember this is a bare bones . dive livaboard. not fancy. you can do with just a bathing suit and a few t- shirts for the week. First time I had to call DAN. they where great. told me what to do . that this is ear problem is common .
