Comments [ even though there were 30 divers and 6 crew nobody ever felt crowded. the food was great even rivaled the Bay Islands Aggressor that we were on last year. The crew were friendly and professional and very helpful. The diving wasn't too good. We stayed around San Miguel island only for the 3 days. The kelp and marine life looked bad. We thus moved to various sea mounts out at sea were vis increased but at depth of at least 70 feet where it was COLD. Here the marine life was plentiful. The only thing that bothered a few divers was watching the anchor chain destroy much coral, starfish etc. Too bad moorings couldn't be used.
