Comments	This was my third trip to Atlantis Dive Resort. I really love this place. The staff is wonderful, and the diving is very good. However this trip, the vis was the worse I've seen, but still very acceptable. For those who like macro photography, this is the place. Dive guides are attentive and helpful, but if you want them to leave you alone, let them know, but please, stay within sight of your group underwater. Largest group that goes out is eight divers with one dive guide. The dive boat is always nearby. The farthest dive site is about 15 minutes away. We were in a group of 15, so we had to eat our meals buffet style. I don't like buffet meals one bit, but understand that it would be difficult to serve meals otherwise. Small groups can order off the menu, plus if one desires something special (not on the buffet table), one needs only to ask. I've been told that the "50-Bar" and the restaurant will be operated by the Resort starting around this summer. Will be interested in seeing how this turns out. Guess I'll just have to go back to check it out.
