Comments Great trip. Weather had been rough before we arrived, but calmed day of arrival and we got out on the afternoon trip. Pleasantly surprised to see John Paul (the divemaster) & his wife Susan who we had previously dove with in Andros. Bruce, boat captain also very helpful and accomodating. Tanks switched out for you, BC's brought to you @ ladder -- spoiled! Hot showers and good facilities back at the docks. Excellent swim-thrus, dramatic chimneys. Turtles and sharks were seen fairly commonly, hammerheads on two occasions. Clean rooms at the hotel, good food and service in the lodge. A very relaxing, low-key place to dive with enough variety for both beginner or advanced divers.
