The dive master did have fresh water rinse on the boat and shore for the
cameras. There were no flat surface to dry the camera and change rolls of
film.

The good the dive operation was very concious of weather conditions for our
safety.

The bad- the reefs are not in good diving shape. The three dive shops on
the Island are the only ones trying to protect them. On their best reef,
Paradise, there was a lot of garbage left by other dive operations
scattered about. A freighter dropped anchor on one of the reefs we dove
upon causing a great deal of damage. 

More Bad - the ATA airlines did everything to they could to ruin our
vacation and they succeeded.

Had I known the bad I would not have gone.
