accommodations on any liveaboard are quite small - cattle boats - not
usually. I was on the Nekton 24 dicer I believe - some dive early at a
spot some leave a little later

Nekton, Peter Hughes, Aggressors and Explorers are all good fleets.
They all have nice boats and offer courses.

For learning opportunities, consider Nekton. They have nightly
presentations on turtles, corals, pretty fishies, etc.

Some of the reports on this page,

WE've been on Hughes and Nekton. We liked them both. Nekton holds
30-32 depending on which boat. First dive-everyone at once then people
tend to space them out as the week goes on.
Dancer was about 20 and plusher, hot towels after the dives, cocoa
with Bailys after the night dives.
Depending on where you live and the destination, it can be a lot
cheaper leaving from FL. on Nekton.

I'm considering taking a liveaboard scuba cruise on one of the scuba
fleets like the Aggressor, Netkon, Peter Hughes or any other fleet
operating in the Caribbean. I don't want to be on a "cattle ship" and
am looking for a class operation which has good diving as well as
offering courses and other learning opportunities as well as having
good accomodations.

Any recommendations and comments will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sy
