Overall Rating

When one's wife is a non-diver, you occasionally end up at places where
diving is not the resort's first priority and such is the case at Sandals'
Antigua Resort. Having done my research, I had no deluions about the diving
in Antigua - the reefs are fairly battered (Sandal's dive boat's careless
anchoring destroyed more than one gorgonian while I was there)and there are
not a lot of fish, let alone large ones.   Certainly those I saw would
likely be of interest to new divers though.  Knowing what to expect, I took
my copy of Paul Humann/Ned Deloach's Reef Coral Identification and worked
at learning more about corals and coral diseases.  This made the trip both
fun and educational!  The Sandal's resort is a very nice place to stay, but
there are better values to be found in other all-inclusives.  The dive
operation, with the exception of one instrutor, was one of the weakest I
have seen.  I took the time to write to the Resort Manager with a list of
suggestions for general diver safety.  To his credit the guy did respond,
but only to tell me that they do everything right and have very stringent
safety procedures - ya right!  But I guess that's the view from the rose
coloured glasses.
