Comments	Mermaid's two liveaboards are operated and maintained to the highest standards of quality. I've dived with them seven times in various itineraries. This itinerary was [mermaid-liveaboards.com link] . Read it now and try to keep from drooling! It's especially wonderful for muck diving and for macro. There's also a whale shark research station where close-up encounters are almost certain. My photo album from this trip is at [flic.kr link] .

UW Photo Comments	Camera table with compressed air on the dive deck. All the dining tables inside are available for PC work between meals, with power readily accessible. So it's very comfortable to set up in the salon/dining area.
