Reef Divers dive operation was first rate.  They took special requests for
sites, were very accommodating, and the dive guides were friendly and
informative.  I feel the only shortcoming was a limit to the amount of time
we could dive.  It becomes very obvious to guides who can dive, and who
cannot.  While they let you do your own thing, or follow the excellent
guides, they limit your bottom time.  They are not super strict, and no one
came down on us, but in an effort not to be the rogue divers, we came up
around the time they set.  Of course, we both came up with well over
1,000psi in our tanks.  Nitrox fills are $10 more so I felt like we were
tossing $3 in the pond after each dive.  The diving was amazing.  Huge
cudas, giant swim throughs out into the deep.  Vis good, guides great, very
healhty environment and tons of fish.  Room cheesy but large enough.  Food
okay.  After talking to others, food was better than most other resorts,
which is suprising.  We feel better with Pre fixe menu's instead of buffet
style.  But it was okay.  The resort itself is okay.  Way over priced
drinks and they nickel and dime you to death.  We spent close to 3k for the
ocean front, and they charged us $1.20 for copies of log book pages.  That
is very petty.  Water shortage was not clearly defined upon arrival.  The
orientation is Monday and we came in on Wed.  Because of this, we were made
to feel like criminals for asking for dry towels.  Again, 3k for a vacation
should equal absolute service.  Lots of talk of sea lice, wife got hit
first day with one, but nothing after that.  We did keep the Sea Safe on,
however.  No one else got hit.  I would recommend this place, but I hope
our customer feedback cards are taken to heart and they make these few
changes.  Nothing else to do but dive, drink, float in the pool and sleep,
oh yeah, and feed the huge iguanas.
