Hi Tubs and thanks for the input.

Any trip report written by an individual is going to be subjective and probably a little biased depending on their own experiences on the trip. The report I've written is no different, and so I accept the 'mostly accurate' comment you made.

I recall on booking the trip I was told the last night would be spent in a hotel, although it's perfectly possible (and likely given the objections raised) that others weren't given the same information.

I was initially disappointed by the fact we'd have to pack up and move to a hotel, but only based on the fact that I'd had such a good time on the boat I didn't want to leave it, and that, I think, is just the normal holiday response when having to leave somewhere that I'd enjoyed myself so much. Given the level of service from Blue O Two and the quality of that service I had every faith that they would look after us on the last night just as they had for the entire trip.

It seems that my faith would have been justified Steigenberger Al Dau Beach Hotel.

I stand by my comments. I do feel the owner was bullied, and I know for a fact there were a smaller element of guests on board whos opinions were not taken into account.

That said however, it was a fantastic week with people getting on pretty well for the most part and it in no way put me off. I'd do it all again tomorrow if I had the option

As I've said, individuals have slightly differing recollections of events, and all I've offered are mine. Your view on things are just as valid and acceptable

Mrs F whats a catfish eel, never heard of one of them, mega poisonous!!!, was someone pulling ur leg??!!

''The only catfish found in coral reefs. Also found in estuaries, tide pools and open coasts. Juveniles form dense ball-shaped schools of about 100 fish; adults are solitary or occur in smaller groups of around 20 and are known to hide under ledges during the day (Ref. 1602, 5503, 12693, 37816, 48635). Adults search and stir the sand incessantly for crustaceans, mollusks, worms, and sometimes fish (Ref. 5213). Oviparous, with demersal eggs and planktonic larvae (Ref. 205). The highly venomous serrate spine of the first dorsal and each of the pectoral fins are dangerous, and even fatal in rare cases (Ref. 1602). ''

I wish someone was pulling my leg!! They looked so cute!!
