”Really enjoyable week. Great value, despite tough weather still got in a number of excellent dives. The crew is well organized, accommodating, and welcoming. The food and drink was much better than expected. I like that we have a dive master who helps plan the dives, but not necessarily lead them….we got to do our own diving. Shark dive was cool. I hope to be back.” Recommended for: The dive sites, the food, customer service.
