short dives for depth, sometimes difficult to get 45 minutes. Especially if
they wanted to get people back to their reort for lunch.  Which would have
been easier if they didn't leave for dives consistently 45min-1 hour late

CON-We left late consistently for morning dives (45min.-11/2 hours late). 
You return after two dives in the morning, no head on the boat.  Not even
drinking water available on the boat.  They have a sign that says
"protect our reefs No Gloves", yet they allowed at least one
older women to wear gloves and she proceeded to dive by holding on and
swimming from coral to coral.  I watched her crash into and break several
pieces of staghorn coral.  The dive guides refused to correct or educate
her (she spoke no English but they have at least one dive guide who spoke
fluent Japanese!! When I asked about it they just shrugged their
shoulders.
Pro- tanks consistently filled to 3000psi
