The staff was outstanding, well-organized, and took good care of our gear. The simple things made a big difference. They washed our gear, put it away to dry, and everything was precisely where we needed it when it was time to put it on. They were quite useful. The ship was really clean and everything was in good shape. The diving guides were the best—real eagle eyes!
