Comments The scooters around the island were a blast! Despite all the warnings against...get the insurance it's worth the hassle if you have an accident. Downtown is busy with cruise ship visitors, so plan one day to shop. No illness although we were prepared! Some people had problems with mosquitoes, but not us and I have seen worse in Mexico, but be prepared if you are sensitive.
Fiesta Americana is away from town about a 6 dollar taxi ride, tends to be a quieter older crowd (I'm 41). That probably changes during spring break, but in October our group of 30 were the only ones there for the most part and it was wonderful!

Fresh water rinse tank on each boat and on shore, dive locker provided with small dive shop. Some of our group got excellent photos of corals, fish, seahorses, barracuda, nurse shark. Staff was very professional assisting with equiptment, dive master pointing out hidden fish. Definitely will go back each year!
