A great trip, great diving, nice boat and good weather
Seeking so many sharks close up was an unforgettable experience as was night diving with the mantas. The visibility underwater was generally outstanding and the water was so warm.

Awesome diving experience.
Special thanks to the Boat Master, Jules "Verne". Very friendly, knowledgeable, competent, funny and extremely helpful. From my experience, qualities not easy to find in one person. All the rest of the diving team and the boat crew were also very nice, friendly and helpful.
