Comments	Unfortunately, trip was the week after the hurricane came over the islands. The visibility averaged about 40 feet due to the "junk" in the water. Visibility did not clear up the entire week. Water temperatures were also below average due to the upwelling of cooler water. Most photos had back scatter in them. Other than that, the weather was great, seas calm, boat run well, food good and crew did a good job. Kudos to the crew and captain for watching after me after I took a mild type one skin DCS hit. They arranged a visit to the local doctor/chamber. Fortunately no chamber treatment was necessary. Would go again, hopefully with no hurricane on the horizon.
