Comments This is my second trip on this boat. It is nicely appointed and very comfortable. Good food. Comfortable diving with modest currents. Lots of tropical fish with some sharks and rays. Nurse shark and amazing Manta encounters. It follows a central route and I've done it twice. Not sure I'd take the same route the next time. Nevertheless, the crew was great and I'd recommend anyone to this boat.

I wore a wetsuit but many wore only skins.
