Comments	A repeat visit for us and we had another great week of easy diving. Not much has changed from our trip the prior year. Other than we got to experience Joe's costume show and met brand new to the boat DM Chris from Poland. Joe even dressed Chris up a few times. And Stan was back in the galley. They did the standard routine of 2 dive sites per day: 2 morning dives on first site, move during lunch and then 2 afternoon and 1 night dive on the second site. Weather prevented us from getting to French cay. A DM was in the water on every dive. We dove as a buddy team so did not follow the DM on any dives. Once again they wanted us to limit our bottom time to 60 minutes. And a reminder that the boat swings on its mooring. Every liveaboard I have been on swings. This repeatedly caught some of the divers by surprise. My divebuddy had a medical issue mid week and the crew handled the situation very professionally. A special thanks to Captn Nelson for his help.
