The resort is absolutely gorgeous. Resort/dive staff are all friendly and
more than willing to do anything to make your stay more comfortable. The
diving was easy and more rewarding than we ever dreamed possible. The
walk-in house reef was great, and could be done as an unguided dusk or
night dive with lots of Mandarin fish.
