Comments	[None]We have been going to Don's for many! years. It is a great place to break in new equipment and new divers. We were treated well by all staff. There were a couple of large groups that almost filled a boat. We were never stuck in the last two places just to fill the boat and save them from using another boat. That was greatly appreciated and will not be forgotten. Dive staff know the reefs well and gave good briefings and led dives that you could follow if inclined. After reading recent reviews I was expecting much more damage from last Oct. storm. There were places with significant coral slides. But being extremely familiar with the reefs, I think the slides took place in the same areas that always slide with a huge surge. Most area are still in pretty good condition. Actually it is amazing to me when considering how many divers go through each year. Money!!! needs to be spent keeping up the rooms, even the newest need work!!!! Wi-Fi was intermittent and that is a cheap fix. Great sea horses and frog fish. You can still get a quality dive experience with out a doubt.
