Comments [None]We have be going to Captain Don's for years. We always have a great time. The rooms are nicer than the larger units. Dive operation has always been good. The food on site has always been so so and remains that way. The food service was really bad. As in BAD ! The off site places were much better. Coral was still in good shape. One site, that is not dived regularly, was as good as it gets. Little fish are still there in great numbers but that is about it. Saw very few angels etc. Still nice easy diving and a great place to learn under water photography.
