Beqa Lagoon Resort was well run by GM Mark.  The rooms are large, beds
comfortable, well furnished suites with sun decks.  Meals were good. 
Service was great for anything requested.  This was a nice destination to
relax and get used to local time.  The diving was limited to 2 tank boat
dive per day.  The crew insisted on no drift diving.  This excluded some of
the better sites when current was present which is most of the time.  Reefs
had nice soft and hard corals with pleny of tropical fish above 45'.  Below
that everything looked destroyed. We did not get to any outer reef dives. 
DM's did allow you to stay past 60 minutes.  Disappointing was the lack of
beach diving.  Could only attemp at high tide which is once a day.  Low
tide and you had to drag yourself across 100 yards of reef.  Low tide was
the only time available for us so we tried it once.  Visibility was 10' to
15' max.  15' depth 100' off shore.  Had booked this rsort thinking we woud
get in plenty of beach dives but no so.  Good location if you are looking
to relax and do 2 tanks per day.
