Comments	I am a big fan of Aldora. 120 cubic foot steel cylinders meant lots of bottom time. Groups were small - 4-6 divers, and grouped by ability, air consumption, and interests. Boats were comfortable and fast. Parkas to wear between dives were a nice touch. Dive guides were very good. Aldora has boats on the east side so can still dive when El Norte blows - a huge plus in my opinion since you don't want to miss a day or more of diving after making it all the way to a tropical destination. I stayed at the Aldora Villa, which was very nice. They were very helpful - took us shopping at the supermarket whenever needed, helped with restaurants, etc. Rooms were nice - for divers. You don't have to stay at the Aldora Villa to diver with Aldora.

UW Photo Comments	Subject matter was fantastic. Plentiful and diverse. As far as photography, no camera rinse bucket on boat - need to bring your own fresh water jug - and rinse barrel on shore was frequently contaminated by wetsuits, etc. Dive staff was very helpful with camera equipment and helpful in finding suitable subjects.
