Comments	None] The boat is a first class operation. The staff is the best I have ever seen with the exception of one other boat in Micronesia. we had the pleasure to have Tony for our captain from Cairns to Lizzard island and Cameron to the Coral Sea. The rest of the crew did the whole trip. The guides, if you wanted to use them were the 3 L's, Lara, Loz, Lucy .Kiri is everwhere and Andrew is a first rate Chef.And of course there is the trip director Mossy. Mossy is a special caracter.He is part, organizer,fish expert and feeder, stand up comedian and all around great guy. The dives were interesting and the critters plentiful. The Cod and Shark feeds were sensational.The reefs, especially at the Coral Sea seem to be in great shape.We were very lucky motoring out to the Coral sea. I understand it can be rough. The ocean was like glass going out and coming back. The long hauls are all done at night, so no dive time was lost.This was one of the most enjoyable trips I ever experienced on a liveaboard. Just wish it would not take so long to get there.Overall though, it was more than worth it.
