Comments	Our dive shop, Wateree Dive Center in Columbia,SC returned for another trip to San Sal. We jumped thru hoops both at home and then going thru Nassau, but we made it. We had to have a negative Covid test prior to flying and we’re advised to use Verifly by AA.. We had to fill out the Bahamas Travel visa on line and it was a hassle, with website crashing and having to redo. Verifly has a LOT of work to do. The Inn is basic and there is little to do for non divers. The weather was not good, overcast, but the ocean was calm and flat. The boat was fine for our group of 11 divers, with an excellent crew of Betsy, Bruce and Captain Tony. One diver tested + for Covid while we were there so we had to be retested and all were negative,. Unfortunately, our diver ( unvaccinated) had to be quarantined and is still there 2 days after the rest of us returned to the U.S. The viz was phenomenal, usually 125 feet +. There were numerous inquisitive sharks, some large turtles, with good fish life. The corals seemed to be in better condition than last year and they have really tried to cull the lionfish, allowing more juveniles. The weather was not great, but with flat seas, really good fishlike, the diving was great. The food in the Inn is basic, but really plentiful and great conch chowder, cracked conch, conch fritters and steamed conch.. The staff was wonderful, friendly and attentive. The rooms are basic, but clean and made up before lunch. All in all, this is truly a superb dive resort on a very poor island with air transportation that is a problem at times. Club Med has not reopened so flights from he U.S. are still irregular, although American Airlines is fine to Nassau. We will certainly return, but the hassles will hopefully lessen as time goes by. This is a great dive destination, but not for those looking for great nightlife, etc. It is basic.
