If you have gone on a liveaboard in Jardines de la Reina: did you enjoy it? Do you think that it was a good choice, in retrospect? Would you recommend it to others? How would you compare the quality of the diving to that of other top-tier Caribbean destinations (e.g. Bonaire, Belize, Cozumel, the Cayman Islands, etc.)
It seemed to me that the Jardines de la Reina liveaboards may not provide as much value for the money as liveaboards in other top-tier Caribbean destinations, as they are more expensive and/or provide fewer dives or lack nitrox. Perhaps one could accept that as a trade-off, however, if the local environment is as pristine and healthy as its reputation suggests, i.e. more so than other top-tier Caribbean destinations, and it thus yields better diving experiences. I heard it described as a "Galapagos of the Caribbean;" would you agree?
