Will do.

Dove with the RDM in March of this year. They are a great group of people with whom to go diving. Interplay between crew and guests is the best of any live aboard I've ever been on! Will be doing their Sea of Cortez trip as soon as I can get a spot in my calendar. They arranged transportation from airport to marina and then back to airport at end of trip. Food, diving, accomodations, crew, etc. was all first class. My only regret is I didn't dive with them sooner.

Wife and I recently booked RDM for November. First time on a live-aboard. Maybe we will see you on the boat.

Hey, you just never know. I am going to Little Cayman from October 27th - November 3rd but maybe I can squeeze in another trip after that.

From what I have heard, Rocio del Mar has the best accommodation. The shared cabins in the Rocio and the Nautilus Explorer have twin beds on the same level (with an aisle in between), which IMO is better than the somewhat cramped one-on-top-of-the-other berth system used in the Solmar V.

ive been on the rocio for the sea cortez trip and various trips on the solmar out to the Reviallagidos Islands. Rocio is a nice boat but the dive platform is not that large to accommodate much in the way of camera gear. I think there is talk about enlarging the area but beware it is small.
