Comments We were on a group trip and unfortunately hit bad weather. The first day was windy and confined us to the south side of the island which is a much less desirable diving destination. The diving was meh in terms of life. Soft corals were plentiful. No pelagics other than a few southern sting rays. This is what you get on the south and that's ok. The weather isn't their fault. However, the dive team wasn't very good. We have visited this resort a number of times with and without our group. On this and most of our trips, we have a few new divers that we have encouraged to join and experience this great reef. The dive team had the profile of the divers on the boat and several were on their very first dives. Not once did the dive guide check in with them on air consumption or well-being and did not really make any effort at showing divers anything interesting. We only got to dive one day before the tropical storm/hurricane intruded but we were very disturbed by this intro day. Maybe it would have gotten better but maybe not. Not what we expected from this operation.

Overall resort responsiveness during bad weather was great. Food service was awesome despite power outage on the island btw
