Comments I would definitely come back to stay at Fiesta Americana and dive with Dive House. Both operations are well run and friendly. The dive shop is short walk from the hotel and they also have lockers to store your gear, remember to bring a small padlock for the locker. The dive crew was knowledgeable and very helpful. As long as you have a computer they will let you dive your own profile but they did impose depth restrictions. Most of the dives had a moderate current that made for a nice drift dive along the colorful coral reefs. Although I didn't see any really large fish, I was amazed at the size of the Angel fish and other reef fish. The highlight of the trip was diving Santa Rosa Wall. The coral was beautiful and the swim throughs were great.
