Tight cabins but amazing food and crew

I was the only vegetarian on the boat and the chef made special vegetarian entrees for me for every meal--not just the side dish platter vegetarians get used to. The food was consistently excellent. Thanks Alphonso! The dive masters and staff were all very friendly and diving was top notch. Would do it again.

Outstanding dive trip with amazing dive locations and great atmosphere onboard!

Diving at such remote locations only few people can access and being able to experience the pristine locations with such marine diversity and minimal human presence is hard to find these days. The whale shark snorkeling was such a special experience in such a unique location with the mountains and cactus everywhere. The crew was 10 out 10 outstanding, very accommodating and knowledgeable about the local area, diving and marine life. Extra thanks to our divemaster David who did a splendid job with our group. Furthermore to Josh and Cinco, 5 stars to the chief, remarkable meals for that small galley, always tasted delicious, could taste the dedication in the making of the food. Overall unforgettable trip, thanks to the captain and the full crew. Highly recommend for people who love to dive in remote locations and appreciate the hard work the crew does to make sure everyone is happy on board from full tanks to full stomachs.
