Comments	First this is a great operation, great location. I heartily recommend it for experienced divers who like to get away from it all. Good accommodations, great staff, great food, convenient location (short boat rides), well equipped big dive boats that, true to their website are not crowded. Our week featured bright sunny weather with some gentle, but big, swells and it became clear why they had these boats. They handled the conditions easily. Big seas meant no one was allowed to walk around on deck with tanks on. The crew brings you your tank and you are fitted with your equipment on seats at the swim platform and step into the water, reverse the procedure once on board. The crew takes the tanks and change them out for the next dive (awesome for us guys with wives). Definitely use Nitrox for the week if you can, the Southern walls are fairly deep and deep is where you will see the "pelagics" and there are a lot of cool swim throughs and cracks in the walls so its well worth the expense for the extra minutes. We did see several sharks, two hammerheads which were spectacular. Our favorite site was Wilderness Wall. The Tibbets is also a must see, huge ship and truly a wreck, it looks like they pulled the plug with the engines running,lots of interesting gear to see including a jet turbine. For you bone fisherman bring your gear there is an abandoned resort up the street with some challenging fish in the flats. In shore fishing is permitted from the shore only, no flats boats. Don't expect night life outside the resort although they have local entertainers several nights. Our biggest problem for the week? trying to decide which one of the three amazing deserts offered nightly would we not eat ;-)
