Good operation.  Nice size boat for six divers on board.  Boat was fast and
clean.  Divemaster, Brent, was very good.  Captain Marvel helpful and
considerate.  

Corals not as bright as Tahiti or Bahamas, but our goal of warm water
diving with our new certified kids was easily met.  The currents were a
little stronger than I expected.  Enjoyed a brief current dive before
returning to the boat. Fish were plentiful, good color and not the least
bit shy.

I would recommend this operation for the beginning diver or for the
expererienced divers wanting more of a challenge than is offered in larger
boat operations.

Stayed at Ramada Inn.  Nice hotel, right on marina with several good dive
operations within walking distance
