Good Liveaboard
The diving was good, lots of micro stuff. Make sure you’re into that if you book. We didn’t see big stuff, like sharks or turtles. One to two sharks per dive & spot three turtles in 26 dives. Most divers had professional style cameras to capture the small stuff. Looked really cool & unique stuff. Lots of lobster and crabs during night dives. The boat food was okay, the worst when compared to all the other Liveaboard I’ve done. Staff was friendly, they made the trip fun & enjoyable.

A great organization
The staff truly did make this trip simply outstanding. From the amazing dive guides, to a wonderful chef and a very personable captain, (even the ever elusive engineer, rarely seen, but always there) they simply couldn't do more to improve the trip. The diving was a wee bit disappointing because of damage from the recent storms, but I'm sure the reefs will soon be back to normal. If T&C is on your radar, you simply won't go wrong with this dive boat

the best diving trip
for me, it was an incredible experience, it was so good i stayed a second week, there is no word to describe how i felt, spending all that time with all those fish, i am used to dive in the St-Lawrence river in Ontario (eastern Canada) its great, but water is cold, and there is never as much life as what we saw, the crew was great, and knew very well everything about every locations, but for me the best part was the night dive at french cay, with the nurse sharks...i would go back anytime for me, that was the very best thing i have ever done in my entire life...im already planning to go back, either to the same spot or to another spot, it was great

Merveilleuse expérience, malgres quelques jours de temps médiocre, les plongées n'en ont pas soufferts.
La plus grande raie aigle que j'ai vue de ma vie, les requins (Caribbean reef et nurse) curieux. Les couchers et levés de soleil. Les éponges de toutes formes et couleurs.
