St. John's - South Route (fantastic!)
My husband and I just returned from the South route - St. John's with the Sea Serpent Excellence. After having done the BDE last year, we were mesmerized by St. John's Caves and the amazing sites of the south route. The reefs were so pristine and the sites geography just so amazing. The Excellence was a nice boat, plenty of room even though we had a packed trip with at least 25 divers from France, Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The food was great and the staff was truly wonderful. I had a birthday on the trip and they made me a cake. I was also seasick one evening on the upper deck and the crew brought limes to smell and medicine. They were so helpful and kind.
