Comments	Fabulous operation. The crew were the highlight. Very very accommodating, professional, knowledgeable. They knew the dive sites well and planned the dives accordingly. Probably the best dining of any live aboard I've been on, with Chef Joshua was a magician - formal culinary training and it showed. Our room was overall fine for a live aboard but the toilet was a little bit stinkier than average on a a liveaboard. The bed was also of an unusual non-rectangular orientation as we had the cabin at the front/bow of the boat. It was comfortable however, though we would have preferred two beds to use one for laying out photo equipment. The floor of the cabin also sloped down towards the entryway as this cabin was towards the front of the boat where it curved upward somewhat. Rooms were meticulously cleaned daily.

UW Photo Comments	Very nice dive table with plenty of outlets and space. The crew were very careful with the equipment and were a pleasure to work with! They remembered everyone's rig after the 2nd or 3rd dive actually.
