Comments	This was my first experience on this boat and only my second in cold water. There were only two passengers on this six-pack boat, but they went out anyway. In light of the current fuel prices, we didn't go far, but we did go to some very nice offshore reefs. The divemaster spent time getting me set up for the cold water dive and helped to check my weighting. We dove on lovely reefs, covered with sponge, and anemone. There was nothing large around and the sealions didn't come over to play, but there were lots of medium size rock fish. A ling cod posed for my photograph and a wolf eel came out of his hole to visit. This is a high quality operation and I will return.
