Comments	The diving is good, the boat is set up great. Only 12 passengers on a 65 ft boat (same size as Blackbeard, 1/2 the passengers -- I've done both trips several times and have enjoyed both, so this is just for reference). We had excellent food and sun the entire week. Including 3 meals off a 44lb Cobia that was caught on the trip. They accommodated all of our food needs with a smile! We did 3 to 4 dives a day depending on the day and the conditions. We dove with sharks, did drift dives along the wall, and night dives with turtles. I believe everyone on the boat had a great time, including the crew. This trip is a great value for your money!
