Comments Resort is becoming all-incusive with some good meals. There was no special restaurant rather it was more of a buffet style meals.
the diving was very good with Nitrox being no extra charge. There were limited lockers at the dock so gear needed to be carried. gear was self set up. An environmental briefing needed to be attended and the Marine park fee needed to be paid. Check out dive was needed. Only one site was really crowded- the Hilma Hooker wreak. Make sure you arrive there early! Shore diving was excellent. Lots of life on east side , was told bigger fish on rougher west side of island. This would be a great place for an intermediate diver.
