Dive shop catered to beginner to advanced divers, they have nitrox, shallow
dives and deep diving.  Boats were large and spacious, had "fins
on" ladders.  Safety breifing given on every trip, roll call while
boat docked and after each dive.  Crew was fun, knew your name, and liked
to have fun while being safe.  Reefs were in good shape with abundant sea
life.  Admiral Brenda took care of all hotel reservations and our diving
itinerary.  Cost of dives went down with the number of dives made.  If you
needed any extras, ex light, nitrox, they will keep a running total until
you are done diving with them.  Recommend night diving, Spiegal Grove and
coral reef dives.
