Comments The boat needed repair & updating. The crew: the boat captain needs training in customer relations, the dive instructor was totally lacking in instruction and customer relations skills, the rest of the crew was very helpful and friendly. The cook served good meals and snacks. The hot tub was broken.

Before trip information:do not stay at the Princess Hotel its a dump.
Even though steels nineties were used: they were filled to 2800psi.
The transportation: we (12) were crammed into a suburban with all luggage and supplies purchased locally(beer-soda-snacks-etc..)

The diving was fair. If the boat would have had 30 divers instead of
12 divers the conditions would have been very crowded. The weather was stormy the first few days and the captain did move the boat to calmer waters. The boat is very stable and has easy enter-exit to & from the water. The crew will dive with you if requested.
