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. |
