Overall Rating

Lions Dive clean and comfortable, breakfast included short walk to the dive
shop.Dive operation is excellent, good breifings short rides to most dive
sights. Fresh fruit and ice tea or water on board. Most of the surface
intervals we were able to go ashore and wander around or get a history
lesson from some of the local divemasters. One complaint, the day we dove
the SUPERIOR PRODUCER wreck, current was strong at the surface and
stronger at the wreck 100'below. DM should have called the dive and picked
another site, pretty much a wasted tank of air, wreck is stripped clean, no
fish, not much to see even on a good day. Other than that one dive, the
rest of the week was very good. Sunday night is beach party night, you can
start at one end of the beach and work your way back to Lions Dive and hit
happy hour at each resturant/hotel from 6 to 10. Great local
entertainment.
Good local resturants nearby. Great laid back location, had minor problems
with the hotel internet service, but the hotel up the beach had a machine
that worked fine, cheaper than calling the states plus you get to play in
the casino while your wife is on line. Good dive trip, I'd go back to
these folks again.
