Reviews from our Wind Dancer guests
Jan. 2007
Just wanted to drop a note about my trip on the Wind Dancer Jan 6-13. I
wasn't looking forward to the current, and the surface chop, and the tender
boats. It seemed like too much work for a liveaboard. But once I got
underwater I could understand why Peter raves about Tobago. The abundance
and variety of fish life was amazing. The diving in Tobago was spectacular.
Thanks to Captain Mike and the dive crew on a great week of diving.

Capt Mike and Crew on Wind Dancer:
Thank you, thank you, thank you for a marvelous dive trip. We loved everything about Tobago and the Wind Dancer. Everyone truly made the trip very special and memorable. Usually we can comment about one or two crew members that went out of their way to spoil guests, but in this case every single crew member did just that in their own special way. You have a wonderful crew on Wind Dancer. Capt Mike and his crew are all gems. Please send them our best regards and many many thanks for a wonderful week - May 27 - June 3, 2006.
P.S. Can't wait for Maldives on Ocean Dancer in Feb 2007. We are looking forward to another spectacular Peter Hughes adventure!

Dear Peter and Staff, 3/2/05
Friendly staff, big animal action, macro life with mountainous and lush
scenery is what the International Society of Aquatic Medicine (ISAM) group found
waiting for them aboard the Wind Dancer February 12-19,2005. We went in search
of diving adventure, as Tobago is not a destination for the beginning diver.
Tobago did provide us with exhilarating and critter filled dives in both the
Atlantic and Caribbean.
ISAM did a dive at Black Jack Hole during our charter that could rival the
best dive ever in the Caribbean. The dive gave us blue water with large green
morays out free swimming and stretched across the coral. Later we were informed
this was mating season for green morays and the males were on the prowl. ISAM
had divers posing for face-to-face photographic opportunities with the green
morays. Divers were swimming in volcanic terrain with exciting and varied
marine life on a reef filled with colorful corals.
We dived a group of islands called The Sisters and Brothers Rock; from the
topography of the area you had the feel of the Galapagos Islands. It was an
exciting diving and provided sightings of hammerheads. Every diver in our group
did the early morning dive at Brothers Rock for the best opportunities to see
the hammerhead sharks.
Everyone commented on the large size of the queen angel fish and
the brain coral on the reef. Highlights on the Wind Dancer were
opportunities to dive with hammerheads, manta rays, jacks, turtles,
scorpionfish, eels of varied species, french angels, rainbow parrotfish,
eagle rays, stingrays, nudibranchs, cherub fish, lettuce sea slugs,
flamingo tongues, brain coral, purple vase sponges, varied colorful
sponges, sea rods and sea plumes in a dive area with mountainous
underwater formations. The diving gave opportunities for wide angle
and macro photographic opportunities.
The staff of the Wind Dancer was exceptional in every way. We felt so
fortunate to see Yanis again as this was our third charter with her! What a wonderful
cook and she passed with flying colors our prior expectations. ISAM loved
the treatment of warm towels with a shoulder massage after every dive. We loved
all of the crew and found the service world class for which Peter Hughes
diving is famous.
I look forward to combing more exciting adventures with ISAM (
www.divingdocs.org) and Peter Hughes Diving. It is a winning combination of providing
adventure in our medical meeting- and medicine in our adventures.
Sincerely,

Kristi,
We had a fantastic time in Tobago on the Wind Dancer. Thanks for setting everything up so well.
We enjoyed the diving and the crew. Our favorite dive master was your friend Patricia. I guess she liked us as well because when we said she
should join us in Bali as our dive master she said "okay". I'm sure you can arrange that w/Peter.......
Here's the Samuelson crew. Me, Kristi, Chris, Katie and Pat. Since we're headed for our third excursion with Peter Hughes I thought you ought to
see the people you're spoiling.
Bali here we come!
Walt & Pat
