Overall Rating

Hotel Santika was pleasent, being clean and well maintained. It is not a
dedicated "Dive Hotel" so there is a variety of guests and
going's-on. Two restaurants, both quite slow, foodwise the Bigtree Cafe was
the better of the two. Thalassa Dive Center is a walk down from the hotel,
and you continue beond to the dock, which is quite a walk down a very long
plank pier spanning mangroves.  Dive briefings were good as were our dive
guides, Maxi, Marco, and German. Very attentive and good at finding
critters. They have come across a new pygmy seahorse which is even smaller
than the regular Pygmy. Very hard to see this 1/4 inch seahorse, not only
due to it's size, but it 's color matched the coral exactly. More types and
numbers of Lionfish than I've ever seen. Flying Gunards,flambouant
cuttlefish, dragon seahorses, ghost pipefish, a plethora of beautiful
colorful corals and reef fish. More than any where else I've been. Great
dives, I would come again.
