Just got back from a great experience with this charter boat and let me tell you, all the…read moresuperlatives for good (wonderful, superb, amazing, delightful, etc.) apply. I was on a 3 day, 2-night live-aboard dive trip to the Flower Gardens, and the boat had essentially a full regimen with ~31 divers. The landscapes (West bank, a rig, and over at Stetson), the weather, and the wildlife (a few sharks, some really friendly sea turtles, eels and stingrays, oh my!) were all really neat, but it was the crew that really makes this organization worth visiting.
The tank filler (Gary, I think) had his hands full with keeping all our tanks full, helping us adjust our rigs, and just giving us some good background on the dive sites. The dive masters (Brandon and JT) were helpful, well-informed, and super cheerful. The captain kept us in stitches with some good humor as we trudged through the necessary drills and information sessions, and the galley crew was phenomenal. I don't imagine it was easy feeding the 35+ people on board, but they prepared delicious, copious food-- if you went hungry, it was on you.
Sleeping quarters were a mite tight, but that's to be expected. With 31 divers, the dive prep area was a little tight, but everyone was really great. Overall, the crew makes you feel welcome and does everything they can, the facilities are comfortable, and the experience is great. If you get a chance to dive the Flower Gardens, you should check out the Fling.
