Comments	Somasoma straights had beautiful coral and great marine life. The current was tough even for the experienced. Wetsuit needed to protect from scrapes etc on the coral. Dive guides wore gloves to hold onto rocks in the current - imagine how the inexperience handled it! Boats were adequate, surface interval on shore so no sea sickness. Short boat rides to sites. Great White Wall is worth during even in the current. Shore dives off the resort is lack-luster - but makes an easy night dive.
