Comments	A comfortable phinise schooner. Spacious cabins & saloon, bathrooms are a little small relatively. Large dive deck area with individual storage draws, plenty of "own space". Access to ribs can be tricky in choppy seas and these are a little small. Very friendly & helpful crew in all areas. Good dive briefings, great food, good bean to cup coffee machine. This was a 13 day itinerary from Puerto Princesa on Palawan, spending six days at Tubbataha, Cagayancillo and then crossing to Apo Island, Dumagette, Bohol, Cabilao etc ending in Cebu. Very varied diving from current blown wall dives with pelagics (white tip, black tip, grey, hammerhead & even a tiger shark spotted - manta, eagle & large marble rays) to great reef sites & some good muck diving (frogfish, many ornate ghosts, various bizarre crabs, shrimps etc).

UW Photo Comments	Camera area in Saloon would be cramped with many large rigs as would the RIBs. Plenty of charging sockets. Large dedicated rinse tanks on dive deck with fresh water changed regularly, crew handled cameras to & from tenders efficiently. PC in every cabin enabling easy upload, transfer & back up of files
