Comments	The crew welcomed me on the boat and helped people settle in. While space is a little cramped and conditions were more like camping, the low-cost of the trip made up for this. Manage your expectations accordingly. There wasn't much time for sitting around – I did 18 of the 20 dives offered in the five days aboard. Food was plentiful and fresh, with fresh baked snacks or fresh fruit offered in between dives. Worth mentioning is that there is no rental gear on board so having functional equipment is a must when boarding, including a spare parts kit as a contingency. Overall I had a great experience and plan on going back.
