Comments	Fantastic blue water diving with all the big animals - whale sharks, giant mantas, dolphins, hammerheads and all kinds of sharks. Great guides, service and food. Biggest downfall was the boat. Very tiny cabins. The doubles were suitable for singles in reality. I slept in the bottom bunk and had to be a contortionist to get out of bed. I am 5'1" and 106 lbs. I can't imagine being much bigger in the same space. The head was smaller than an airline lavatory. Deck furniture was broken cheap plastic and should have been replaced. There were 22 divers when there should have been 16 max. The dressing area was spacious. Ok camera area, but no air to dry or clean camera equipment. I would do the trip again in a heartbeat, but would prefer better boat with same crew.
