We flew in with a bunch of dive friends from Aquatic Adventures, hopped on the boat and met Jay and Jo, our guides.
Though technically Alisa and I had done a liveaboard in Thailand, this was much more luxiorious, even for a boat. Mark and I were in bunks down the hall from Alisa and Wendy.
The boat had this fun way of doing a figure 8 in the water when it was moored. One night dive, Mark decided to drink so JJ and I were buddies - and though we were with Jay, we didn't make it back to the boat, so the little Zodiac came and got us.
A day in, Alisa learned that Jo had volunteered at a dog shelter on the island. She hurriedly submitted her application, and the day we left the boat, we took a look at some puppies. One had just gotten its medical papers to travel, so little Josie came home with Alisa!
