Comments	All dives close to shore, and were quite similar except for the wreck. Nice sponges and corals, lobsters, trumpetfish, interesting terrain, good vis, but very few fish except on the wreck. Lionfish in evidence, may be responsible for lack of fish. Daily dives a bit boring after a while. Highlight was the wreck of Leslie N. in about 40 feet, although it was crowded with divers from other operations. On the wreck, beautiful sponges, could swim-through with reef fish, puffers, schools of bait fish, queen angel. Dive operators and guides were good. At hotel, very steep climbs to get from beach to restaurants, lodging (could wait for free cabs). No A/C in rooms, and weak fans. Food generally good, but got food poisoning at Indian restaurant which limited appetite. Beaches very nice, but not good snorkeling. Good optional bike ride in rain forest.
