Overall Rating

La Parguera Divers (not associated with any resort or hotel) was
outstanding in service and safety.  Angel, the owner, was boat captain.  He
worked well with divers of all experience levels.  I was impressed by his
patience and concern for a beginner in our group who was doing a
"Discover Scuba" dive.  For our group of three experienced
divers, he made sure we saw a different site each day.  Victor and Robbie,
the divemasters, were personable, careful, and safety-conscious.  All were
concerned that we saw all parts of their beautiful wall.  Size of the group
varied from five to thirteen.  We were unable to do a night dive because
there was a minimum of five people, and we were only three.  I felt lucky
we had read Undercurrent about this quality operation.  We stopped by the
competing dive shop, Paradise Divers, and were treated rudely and
condescendingly.  Other divers on our trips had very negative experiences
with Paradise.  La Parguera is a quality operation, and we got it right the
first time, thanks to Undercurrent.
We made a misstep in booking accommodations.  We selected "Andy's
Chalet and Guest House" because it advertised a "fully equipped
kitchen."  What a joke.  "Fully equipped" consisted of one
plate and one glass.  We had booked a two-bedroom.  They ushered us into a
dirty, cramped, dim one-bedroom.  When we protested, they reluctantly gave
us another tiny room with dark walls, filthy shower and one bare bulb.  The
next day, we told our story to Roxanna, Victor's wife and also a La
Parguera employee.  She helped us locate a large, cheerful apartment
downstairs from where she lives in the back of Sammy's hardware store and
mini mart.  I don't have an address.  After moving out of Andys, our
on-shore experience completely turned around.  Both the diving and the
friendliness of the people at La Parguera exceeded my expectations.
