Comments	This was offered as a Valentine's Day special and for some reason the boat wasn't full. We had 12 passengers on a boat that would accommodate 20. Lucky for us. We had an excellent staff & crew. The accommodations were the best I'd had on a liveaboard. The food was top notch and there was plenty of it. Fresh fruit and snacks whenever you wanted it. A first class operation. The reefs we visited were healthy and in surprisingly good shape, though an absence of large animals. There were lots of reef fish, gorgoinia, sponges, corals and critters. Thorough dive briefings were given before each dive. Every dive was led by a crewmember, or you could dive your own profile. No babysitting here. The crew paid special attention. It seemes they sincerely wanted us all to have a good time, which made for good fun and an overall feeling of comradre. In the water near Lighthouse Reef for a couple days we encountered some kind of stingy stringy thingys that we couldn't identify. Almost everyone got stung. I captured a couple on digital photograph, but still haven't been able to find out what they are. The crew was awesome and supplied vinegar and topical treatment for us that helped.
