Comments Lion's Dive facilities are good, clean, recently redone. Staff are friendly and helpful. Dive shop orperators/dive masters were co-operative, friendly and very helpful. Boats were adequate but had small or no dive platforms only ladders. Gear storage convenient, could hang dive suits in wet room that was locked most of the time. Customers are issued keys to access these secured areas. Night diving easy, tanks readily available. We had a good time and would return.
