Boat in bad conditions

There are cockroaches on the boat. The bunk beds in the cabins are very outdated and extremely uncomfortable. Boat is really old and it shows. The dives were lackluster other than the tiger shark dives. I went in November and it was not the right time to go. The crew and the dives guides were great, but can’t make up for an otherwise bad experience.

Tiger shark dives were cool

Very clean and comfortable, great diving and guides. No credit card services on board, bring cash :-(

Nurse shark twilight dive, some of the pinnacles are marvelous. No luck with hammerheads and whale sharks, yet.

The cabins are cozy, if small. The crew is very friendly and does everything to make it a memorable trip.
