AC is individually controlled in each cabin so there were no fights over the thermostat. The lounge is cozy, paneled with mahogany and equipped with a camera table with small storage bins each with 110V and an adapter plug for US appliances. The standard plug used here has 3 flat prongs. There are two camera tables outside, but no storage for camera gear. The dive deck on the same level is nicely laid out and all divers can easily gear up at the same time, walk down the 4 large steps to the dive deck and jump in.
Most diving is done from the dive deck with an aluminum chase boat used when necessary.
There are two lounge areas on the upper deck, one shaded and one for sunbathing. The Florida Islands, just north of Guadalcanal, had a more diverse selection of marine life. Nudibranchs, a vast wall of blue tunicates, turtles, a turquoise scorpionfish, a variety of anemonefish and starfish were a nice change after all those fast moving subjects to the west. However, the dive at Twin Tunnels was amazing. Once again, fish swarmed around me.
