Comments The trip was great. We spent a week at the resort. The staff at the resort were very helpful and made the diving extremely easy. They had all levels of divers and they were good about separating them into appropriate groups. The Dive Masters were extremely knowledgeable about the local area and the sea life. The corals were the best that I have seen and every dive was teaming with great coral and small sea life.
The resort is very remote and there is not much else to do but dive or snorkel. The next visit(Which I am definately going again with more of my family!) I would be better prepared for the off diving hours. I would have brought more activities(movies, cards...etc.) The internet was spotty but most days I was able to connect and stay in touch with the outside world. Although I really enjoyed not being plagued with the cell and other distractions!
Overall the resort was excellent. Plenty of food and all the great diving you could ask for.
