[None]Nitrox was promised but was unavailable. Lame excuse was given for
not being available. Night dives and trip to Bat Islands was unavailable
with another set of lame excuses. Son, 14 years old with 50 dives not
allowed to dive the Catalina Islands, he has, as explained, done walls in
the Caymans, drifts in Florida, still they would not allow it. Prior
limitation not stated. Dive staff however, very good and accomodating.
Great guides. Accomodations ok, Sol Playa Hermosa hotel has some plumbing
problems, fixtures and drains need work. Food on Sol Playa Hermosa, beach
front places, Aqua Sport, El Velero Hotel, very good. Heard good things
about El Ocotal diving operation.
