Comments	Very good caribbean diving, Coral in good shape. Seas were calm and flat. Good sealife including sharks (almost every dive), turtles, one pod of dolphins, one eagle ray, lots of your typical caribbean fish. Most walls start at 50 feet so while we found the diving to be easy for the experienced, beginners need to watch depth/deco limits - it was mentioned that getting bent was not an irregular occurance. Crew was well trained when this problem arose with a fellow passenger. Crew was very personable, fun and professional. You wanted to hang out with them and they all seemed to enjoy their job. Boat was very comfortable. Lots of space and common areas to hang out in - never felt crowded. Cabin was very nice. Food was very good - same chef (Stan) has been on board for years. Captain gave one of the best briefings we have had on a liveaboard and even grilled steaks one night for us. Most passengers were making a repeat trip and we would be happy to repeat this trip. Enough to see to keep the experienced happy but easy enough for the beginners. We felt like it was some of the best caribbean diving on one of the more comfortable liveaboards with one of the nicest crews.
