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.

Great place for shark and wall diving.
We saw sharks on almost every dive. We also saw a few dolphins and sea turtles. Staff were very friendly and quick to help.

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!

Very Relaxing Week of Diving
The Crew and other passengers were great. We really enjoyed diving and spending time with them. The diving was very easy and the visibility was good. No current to speak of at all.
