Excellent crew and diving
Fully equipped diving ship with experienced captain and crew. Fun crew can host any level of diver. Safety is the top priority with this company so no need to worry about weather and water current risks. They'll combine diving experience, weather/current risks and build a plan for the week to maximize sights and safety for the guests. Food is always a risk on a liveaboard, but their Chef Austin and the crew do an excellent job accounting for allergies, variety and quality of the meals. We were never hungry and very satisfied with the food. Great salads, meats and carbs to offset energy spent during the day with amazing hot snack-time dishes in between. Diving highlights were snorkeling with wild dolphins near West Caicos and the night dive on French Cay where Nurse Sharks are naturally feeding at night around their breeding ground. Amazingly large and calm barracuda on DD and GS dive sites as well. One note about the boat, it's stabilizers on the keel cause the boat to swing in a arc'd figure 8(think of a C-curved figure-8) centered around the mooring point. The crew draws this out for you ahead of time but it will surprise you how much the boat moves. Be patient and calm when doing safety stops and the divemasters on the dive are nearly always tracking the boat if you can't see it.

Wonderful captain and crew; DM Molly is an excellent educator/leader; the sea is filled with creatures.
Dive instrucdtor/DM Molly is a wonderful guide, pointing out all kinds of sea creatures. The corals are all looking sad, decayed, weather-worn, tired and lifeless. But there is still a thriving ecosystem filled with sharks, schools of jacks and blue tangs, sightings of three (3) spotted eagle rays, sharks on nearly every dive, lots of lobsters, and a multitude of tiny, minute creatures. On our first night dive, a school of seven + nurse sharks, including a huge giant one actively, swam below us 12 inches from the bottom, following us everywhere. Quite a unique experience!

Wonderful staff made for an amazing week
We enjoyed a comfortable week of diving and saw a wide array of sea life expertly guided by friendly staff. The food was stellar, the dive sites featured sharks, rays, eels, and turtles. Rooms were cleaned daily, excellent Captain Bob navigated us to a diverse array of sites, and the guides (Mollie and Tristen) were entertaining and informative.

Fantastic!
I am a relatively new diver, and this was my first live aboard trip. I couldn't be happier with the experience and I heartily recommend this trip. The crew is fantastic, always busy and hardworking (despite the small number of divers on this trip). I did 22 of the 27 dives (including 3 night dives and 2 drift dives), covering 12 different diving sites between Providenciales and West Caicos. All the sites are beautiful, with a variety of corals and animals to look for. The dive masters are experienced and always helpful. The whole crew is friendly, hardworking, and skilled at what they do, from helping fix faulty equipment to cooking excellent food. I already look forward to my next opportunity to go back!

Awesome crew, awesome dives, amazing experience
My boat was only 4 guests so we got a very private experience which was amazing! Getting to know the crew and having more curated dives was fantastic! The boat is crewed by a great group of people who truly care about the ocean and about making sure guests have a great time! Highly recommend!
