Comments	Explorer Ventures provided very helpful info on destination, directions fro airport to boat location, what to bring, emergency contact info to assist in planning for trip. The crew reflected the genuine hospitality and intentions to make the trip a success for all divers aboard for the week. Helped with gear for those needing it and presented excellent dive briefings to ensure maximum enjoyment of each site. Dive deck was well laid out with plenty of space for each diver and their equipment. Boat had been altered to permit exhaust heated air to rise between center benches that served to almost instantly dry wet suits, skins, etc between each dive. Chef did an excellent job of preparing tasty on-time meals and snacks between dives. Plenty of food and beverages available throughout the day and evening. Cabins were spacious and well maintained by the crew. Lots of hot water for showers. Dive sites were mostly walls with coral and sponges in good condition and well populated by all sizes and types of tropicals. Reef sharks on almost every dive along with turtles, rays, eels, lobsters, crabs, octopus, and most all creatures divers seek out, especially photographers.
