MY WIFE AND I HAD BEEN TO THIS RESORT IN 1994 WHERE WE GOT HOOKED ON
DIVING.THE CLUB ITSELF WAS UNCHANGED AND HAD BEEN UPDATED.ROOMS CLEAN,
SERVICE VERY GOOD AS WAS THE FOOD. THE GROUP OF GOS RUNNING THE DIVE SHOP
AND BOATS WERE BY FAR THE BEST WE HAVE ENCOUNTERED AT ANY CLUB MED AS WELL
AS OTHER RESORTS.THE BOATS WERE NOT CROWDED, THEY KEPT MORE EXPERIENCED
DIVERS TOGETHER. MY WIFE DID HER ADVANCED AND PHOTOGRAPHY COURSE OVER THE
WEEK AND THEY HAD NO DIFFICULTIES ARRANGING BUDDIES FOR ME.THE VISIBILITY
IMPROVED DAILY AND THE SEAS CALMED. THERE WERE NO CANCELLATIONS DURING OUR
STAY BUT THE WEATHER WAS BAD THE WEEK BEFORE OUR ARRIVAL CAUSING SOMME DIVE
CANCELLATIONS.WE WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK AGAIN.
