Comments	This was my second trip on the Explorer II to T&C and my 4th trip in 6 years to T&C with the other two on the Aggressor. Water temps have risen significantly and has affect the health of the coral, which in turn affects the micro and rest of food chain. We encountered many reef sharks and a few sting rays. There was a report of an eagle ray seen by someone but no photo. The only reason I made this trip was for my grandson to obtain his ScubaPro Expert Technician rating and for my wife and I to network and get away for a week. I would not otherwise spend the money to dive T&C when there are far better reefs and marine life to be found elsewhere. We will however be making the trip on the Explorer II come Feb for whale watching in the Silver Banks.

UW Photo Comments	The ship had more than adequate facilties for photographers but the lack of a good selection of subject matter in the water for experienced divers was another reason I don't suggest T&C for once a year divers.
