Pluses and minuses...
You need to be reasonably athletic to not be tired all the time from just keeping yourself upright and moving in the direction you intended to go on the boat. If you’re not in good upper body shape, you will by by the end of the week.
There is a fresh water shower, but it is limited to 30 seconds a day per person. The shower has both heated salt water and fresh water. You soap up with the salt water and then do your final rinse with the fresh water. Keep mouth closed.
Crew are very good about helping you on and off the boat, changing out tanks on your BC (you hook up your own regulator). You get into your wetsuit, shuffle up to the exit then a crew member brings your BC over and helps you on with it. Very cushy.
My experiences have been pretty much February, but the boat was rocking a lot. I am not prone to sea sickness, but people who are might be miserable without proper medication.
Food and Drink were both two thumbs up.
Racks were comfortable for me once I was snuggled in. It’s a thick vinyl covered foam pad with sheets and a blanket and pillow. There is air conditioning in the cabins and main salon.
We got to leave the boat once in a while when we were anchored. They have a beach fire party with the other two boats one night, but otherwise usually the three boats are on separate itineraries.
Divers can enjoy 3-5 dives a day, including a night dive, most days.
I was told by the captain of my last cruise that I should come back May-August as that’s the time of the nicest weather and perhaps biggest choice of dive sites.
And the rum punch is pretty good, but I don’t really see the point of doing a lot of drinking while I’m trying to enjoy the diving.
That’s all I can think of off the top of my head.
