Falcoy, October, 1994. "Everyone wants to dive with orcas; no way is Norway the answer! I was on board Falcoy for 23 days; after nine saw our first Orca and after that we saw many but these were not diving conditions. . . . The boat is not outfitted for diving and the owner/crew doesn't understand whales let alone know what they are doing. They would drive their small boat as fast as possible and tell us to 'drop' from the boat. Imagine the whales. Nonexistent is a good word. . . . The live-aboard is run down and there are no bathrooms/showers where the cabins are. The weather is 36_ cold and it rains and snows into the small holes in the cabins. My worst trip ever.
