Comments  
Dive guides were friendly and knowledgable. The fastboat option was worth
the extra money. These boats were good condition and got you to the
divesites fast. Fast enough that the lack of a sunshade on the boats was
not a problem. I was not happy that they kept the boat in idle while
picking us up. We ended all of our dives sucking in engine fumes. This
company needs to pay better attention to o-rings on the tanks. I can't
begin to count the number of first stage leaks we saw on the trip. 

Plaza las glorias is begining to show its age. They keep up the lobby and
exterior but the rooms are starting to show lots of neglect ie; broken
tiles, rotting doors, masking tape over peep hole, A.C. that couldn't keep
up. Restaraunt had a good breakfast but the lack of fans to move the air
made it a heaven for mosquitoes in the eavening. we had a $60 steak dinner
and the mosquitoes ate better than we did. No other restaraunt we ate at
had this problem.
