Personally Bounteous Sea has great accomodation, Invincible has more deck space. Depends on your priorities, but you can't have it all. Not easily anyway!

Get in touch with Hazel - divebiatch on here. She runs a boat up there at the moment, soon to be two. And she'll be straight up with you depending on what you want.

I was on Jean Elaine last year and that was fine as well.

Digs.

That was some subliminal advertising....for the main event MV Stormdrift and contact divebiatch on here - there will be a new liveaboard boat for 2007 apparently. Well, Hazel has mentioned it once or twice

We were on the MV Sharon Rose in June of this year for a week. We did day boat diving and rented a large apartment for the lot of us. The skipper (Kevin) was great and certainly knew where the wrecks were, but we were very much left to dictate everything. That in itself was good, but when we got to a wreck there was no-one to tell us the best bits to look for or whatever. I.E. the skipper wasn't a diver. We're thinking of going back in '07, but we;ll go with a different charter.
