Comments Full hotel plan with meals - food was more than passable. Accomodations were quite nice and service good. Hotel across the road from the beach along with one of the restaurants but was no problem. Boats were full every day (over July 4) with 12 -14 on board so it was a bit crowded at times. DMs gave good profiles of what we could expect. Boats left a bit late every day. Drift dives every time. Water served between dives. Beautiful, incredibly fast drift dive over Punta Tunich - many angels, lobsters, turtles, eels, rays and wonderful hard/soft corals. Night dive at Paradise North produced several splendid toadfish, many lobsters, several types of eels and lots of coral heads.
