We had 12 divers, and could have sold spots for 20. Even though the conditions were not the best, the diving was still fantastic. The food and the crew were great and took exceptional care of us. Even with the high seas we didn't have anyone getting seasick. This is my 4th trip to the FG, and the first where no dives had to take the dingy ride of shame. The Tulsa Aquanauts will be back next year, and hope to get 20 spots. Date: 30-07-2009 Name: Rick Smith Location: Tulsa Oklahoma Email: rsmith4656@aol.com Message: Our trip was July 27,28 and 29. While the weather was nice the seas were up and made for some interesting times. Our trip did not have one person get sea sick and we did not have to have anyone picked up by the crew's dingy. Capt's Mike and Bland are just graet. They were flexible and made our trip a success, by trying a different location than scheduled to avoid strong currents. The new location Stetson Banks was great. Jeremy and Matt served some great food and even catered to me as I can not eat mushrooms. Daniela and Neal were on top of what was going on both in the water and on deck. Thank you Daniela for that great salad. I am looking forward to next years trip already and hope to see this crew again. Thank you all.

Great crew on board. They are fun and felt safe. I lost my camera on the trip and they said they may find it. Well 3 weeks later they did and sent it back to me. Now thats service. Thanks again Matthew. We're coming back soon so I can get some pictures this time.

GREAT crew, GREAT Captain and a GREAT time. The food was super and, in fact, I GAINED weight on this trip which is unusual. Definitely planning on a return trip this year. Top notch operation. Dive Masters were helpful, friendly and informative. A+++ diving for sure.

Kudos to all the crew and Captains. Thanks to Mike and Greg...great job keeping everyone safe and accounted for. Jeremy and Scot, thanks for the extra pounds. Farrah, you rock! Mikey and Bruce...thanks for getting us out and back safely. See you next time...

Not many divers saw it. However, Divemaster Greg saw it as did my husband and I. Crew is always awesome. Galley is good at keeping people fed. Farrah keeps our tanks full and always ready for the next dive. Wish we could do this once a month...see you guys next time.

We did have a strong current two dives (out of 11), but if you use the lines, it should not take 1/2 tank of air. Lots of BIG critters, many you will have seen elsewhere, but larger. Picture a Sgt. Major almost as big as a typical Angel fish! I had a manta circling me close enough to touch (don't touch ANYTHING)! Crew was great. Word of Caution: If you want an Agressor style live aboard, book with Agressor. If you want fantastic diving, great food, comfortable bunks, and pristine diving, this is the trip for you. If you do not have a lot of experience, take a refresher course before you go. 130 miles at sea is NOT the place to brush up on skills.

I had a manta circling around me, passing witin 2 feet of me! The crew on the Fling were great, we were VERY well fed, and the accomodations are comfortable. You will see many familiar species, only much larger (Sgt. Majors almost as large as a plate!)WORD OF WARNING: If you are looking for an Aggressot-type live aboard, this is NOT it. If you want incredible diving, amazing critters, a friendly and helpful crew, this IS the trip for you! Pages :     1     2      [3]     4      total entries : 39
