Comments	The diving was for the most part great. The only bad dive was 1 described as a wall dive. Did not see a wall, nor much of anything else on that dive, I've seen better walls in the quarry. The night dive was fantastic. So was the Shark dive. Weather conditions wrer mostly good and the captain avoid bad weather as much possible, lost only 2 dives to storms and he kept us in relatively calm waters. Accomodations on Blackbeard's are close. It reminded me of summer camp. If you enjoyed that experience, you'll love Blackbeard's. If you want occasional privacy, you won't get it here. Accomodations are spartan, the food is edible but not memorable, and the service is definitely hit or miss. I've done liveaboards in the past and you get what you pay for. Blackbeard's is half the price of other liveaboards so expect the equivalent level of accomodations and service.
