Clear water, no current, and a TON of small colorfull fish and coral make
this an ideal place for any photographer. No dedicated rinse tanks, but a
sink in every room makes up for it. Wireless internet facilitates instant
uploading of your digital images.

The owners are avid divers and made many great recomendations with regards
to local sites. In fact my favorite location was off the map, on a tip.
Breakfast every morning was outstanding. The Inn uses Wannadive Resort as
their dive shop, friendly service and very accomodating. Free nitrox
upgrades. The rooms were comfortable, but the rinse tanks were mostly
dirty. Also the key to the gear locker is left outside, where anyone can
find it, so be careful there. Truck rental was included with our package,
and we were able to make 3 dives our first day on the island. Free rum
punch parties both at the Inn and other resorts, for those so inclined.
