The dive boat was excellent as was the staff.  The practice of dropping
divers at sites and returning was unnerving to beginners and some
experienced.  We surfaced after 45 minutes to drift for 10 minutes in 3-4
foot swell.  This was due to cutbacks with one boat servicing two resorts. 
This, in my opinion, is a poor practice as any diving/health incident would
escalate with no means of evacuation.
