Comments Lots of hammerheads on most dives. Large schools of fish. Playful sea lions on several dives. We had a visit with a penguin on one dive, she swam around our group for about 5 minuets. Saw a mola mola on one chilly dive. Fantastic dives in a healthy environment.

Bring a reef hook and gloves to hold onto rocks while watching fish in strong current. The boat does not sell either. Best staff of any Liveaboard I’ve ever been on. They help you get your wetsuit and gear on and off. Rinse your wetsuit and rash guard after each dive and carry all your gear from ship to pangas. Hot drinks and hot towels are handed to divers after each dive. Boat is clean, comfortable and a good size. Food is good and all the staff were attentive and service oriented.
