Comments The diving is the best I've experienced; little chilly, but worth it! Lionfish like you won't believe! Short boat rides to site (15 to 30 minutes for the most part)and all your gear is loaded on/off your boat for you. Pretty nice gear storage room with assigned shelf, drinking water supply, bath rooms, but does need a ventilation fan to move some air through room.

The food is unbelieveably good! And I'm talking gourmet food with choices, but buffet mostly. You look forward to every meal on their meal plan.

They have a nice pool and massage room with nice atmosphere. Two bars for after diving; one near water (no beach/sand to speak of and one larger near walk within the resurant.
