Diving was effortless and spectacular. The boats were well proportioned. Even with 16 divers, one didn't feel crowded, on board or underwater. The DM's were professional, well-informed, personable, and hard working. Visibility and variety was superb; saw seahorses in several sites, but didn't see enough large critters. Snorkelers were disappointed by inability to see much from the surface, but were encouraged to take up diving on return to the States! Several of the topside attractions in the brochure haven't existed for several years, leading to disappointments among the non-divers. The resort was clean, food was good to very good, and it was quiet and relaxing. We want to go back. |
