Comments	The food on board this week was some of the best I've ever had on a dive trip...period. The chef, Ashley, was a culinary school graduate and it showed! Plenty of variety, all very well prepared, with no complaints from anyone on board. The diving is unique in that there are very few if any soft corals. Plenty of hard stony corals. Tons of eels everywhere. Colorful fish made the dives enjoyable, but no too many opportunities for wide angle photos. Crew on board were friendly enough, but some lacked any enthusiasm. The dives were 'led' by a crew member, but sometimes they spent more time taking their own photos rather than sharing discoveries with the divers. Tanks were always filled to at least 3000 psi, with consistent nitrox blends all week. Service topside was great. When you would be sitting on the sun deck, for example, someone was always asking if they could bring you something...a refill or a snack.
