Comments Dive Planacar a great dive operation. Even though we took our own equipment the rental equipment at Dive Planacar was top notch, I would say less than a year old and well maintained. The boats were clean, large and well equiped. O2 on every boat, excellent dive masters and captain. Water before the dive and all you could drink after. Short run to reef locations, wall dives, tunnels and small caves. Excellent experience.

Allegro resort was just OK. Food was just OK in buffet, breakfast the best meal. Rooms varied from horrible to very nice. Staff working hard to keep place up. Entertainment OK. For diving dollar good value, but ..... the dive operation more than made up for any resort short comings. Pools and beach were excellent! We had a ball!
