Comments	As always, another wonderful trip on the Juliet! I have started to make this an annual trip, I enjoy this boat and the crew that much. Taking a trip on the Juliet is just like coming home....the crew treat you like family, and they foster such a relaxed and laid-back atmosphere. We boarded in Miami and motored to Bimini, getting there late in the evening. We did 4 dives a day, 2 morning, one afternoon, and one night. We did three dives on Thursday befoe heading back to Miami. First dive of the morning was usually around 8:30am, second dive 11:00am or therabouts, third dive around 3:30pm (allowing for a nice long nap after lunch), and night dive about 8:00p. Night dive was usually the same dive as the afternoon one. In total we did 21 dives. Diving, as usual, was fantastic - great vis, great conditions, plenty of big and small critters. Some of my favorite dive sites: Sponge Gardens, Krispy Kreme, Moxon Rocks, the Sapona, Rainbow Valley. All of these sites had tons of fish, some of the sites had tons of swim-throughs. Always lots to see at the Sapona - on the night dive there were at least three hawskbills inside the wreck, some huge sting rays around the outside of the wreck, multiple porcupine puffers. The Sapona is such a fun dive, always lots of fish! My favorite dive of this trip was the Lunkhead night dive, there was a huge loggerhead turtle handing out under an overhang, and an octopus that was swimming right next to me and then dropped down to the coral head and put on a good show! This is my 4th trip on the Juliet, and this boat is by far my favorite liveaboard! The crew is just the best, and the dive sites are phenomenal. The cabins are comfy, plenty of storage space, and the food is abundant and very, very yummy! If you're looking for an affordable liveaboard that's tons of fun, then take a trip on the Juliet!

Closest Airport	Miami	Getting There	I flew Southwest from BWI to Miami, same on return. Prior to departure I had to register for a Bahamas Travel Health Visa and submit all the required documentation prior to approval, including a negative COVID test no more than 72hrs prior to departure, and vaccination documentation. If you're not vaccinated they make you jump through a few more hoops in the visa process.

UW Photo Comments	The Juliet doesn't have a dedicated table for cameras like you'll find on some liveaboards, but they do have separate tubs to soak your camera in. The dining table out on deck is large enough for working on camera rigs. I've been on the Juliet before with other divers that have fairly large rigs, and they didn't have any issues.
