Comments We went in the off season and received a discount. The weather was cloudy with some rain, but diving was not affected. The clouds kept the temperature in a comfortable range. The diving is challenging with some strong currents requiring reef hooks. Taking pictures was difficult on these dives. I was able to get some manta shots, but missed some opportunities since the area with mantas was quite large and you can't be everywhere. I was disappointed with the lack of macro opportunities. I understand that there are good macro sites, but our crew focused on pelagic opportunities. All diving was from a 40 ft. skiff launched directly from the boat, easy in and out. However, 15 divers and 2 or 3 divemasters sometimes made for crowded conditions. Visibility varied a lot depending on the dive site. Service, food and drink were 5 star and so was the crew.
