Comments	Nothing bad about the resort. Meals and service good. Dive guides, waitresses, staff friendly and helpful. Near resort bottom is 95% sand/silt slope; muck diving, good for squid, octopus, nudibranchs, and short tentacled anomonefish. Offshore islands much more like tropical reefs with variety of healthy coral, sponges, reef fish, long tentacled anemones. Diving interesting and pleasant. But nothing awesome should be expected. Opportune for ornate ghost pipefish and flamboyant cuttlefish. And the very unusual and strange Melibe nudibranch.

Line 4, paragrapf immediately above: change to "...and short tentacled anemones and associated anemonefish." This is a correction your system does not allow me to make as I ordinarily would.
