Wonderful dive sites that have healthy corals, lots of fish, and more
variety of sea life than any other place I have been. It is a long way to
go from the USA, but well worth it. I have been to this sane resort in
2004, 2006, 2007 as well as this 2008 trip. I plan to go again in 2009.

Please see my earlier Undercurrent reviews for additional information.
