buddy team.

not too many cameras.  1-hour print processing 5 minutes from dive op.  

Overall Rating

Excellent boat, fast smooth ride to West Caicos and French Cay.  Dive sites
in great condition, lots of fish and HUGE sponges.  Small groups on guided
dives.  Decent dive briefings.  Good rental gear.  Lunches not very good,
but they filled the belly.  Fifi & his staff are fun, enthusiastic,
and dedicated to excellent customer service.  His reputation is
well-deserved.  You need to bring your own towels, but otherwise, all
needs met on board.  Boat is on south side of island -- Fifi will pick you
up at your hotel at 8:15 AM, or you can rent a car and go on your own.  The
Sands Resort is a beautiful all-suite resort on a gorgeous beach and
gardens, with spacious accommodations.  Good value for the price. 
Well-equipped kitchens mean you can eat meals in to save $$ or just relax
"at home".  Island is safe, people are friendly.  Good grocery
store if you want to cook at "home".  Hyperbaric chamber on
island. Good medical clinic [unfortunately, I learned first-hand] with
appointments available on the day I called.
