Home of the Nikon School of Underwater Photography.  Very experienced and
knowledgable photography staff.  Onsite E-6 processing, dedicated dunk
tanks on dock and boat.  Boats have dry forward cabin for changing
film/batteries.  Boat crew familiar with handling camera gear.  Overall
excellent attention paid to UWPs.

The accommodations were very comfortable, not fancy, but then most divers
do not come to spend a lot of time in their room.  The food was a step
above mediocre but it was abundant.  The resort is situated on a beautiful
beach.  The dive operation was top notch, with excellent boats, attentive
and enthusiastic divemasters and crew.  We never had to schlep dive gear. 
It was picked up at our room upon arrival, stored conveniently in on-dock
storage during the week, and then returned to our room before check-out. 
They were very flexible.  Many divers in our group were taking an
underwater photography course and they adjusted the schedule to allow time
for class.  They were happy to take us out for night dives, even though
they had been working all day.  I would definitely return to this resort.
