I've been on it a couple of years ago. Before that I have been on Blackbeard's twice & the Caribbean Explorer I. Our group was a "ladies only" group from our dive shop. We went in June. The Cat Ppalu is certainly roomier than Blackbeard's & not quite as roomie as the CEXI. It was never ultra crowded, but it wasn't the best. We commonly found ourselve hanging out in the salon to get out of the sun between dives. Some in our group would sleep out on the nets between the catamarans, but in Jan., it may be too cold. The diving was fair,.... its the Bahamas. The northern exumas are becoming over- dove. I still think the diving on the CEXI, around San Salvador, was much better.
