Comments boats and drift dives were well managed. we had a group of 6, so we were assigned our own boat which was a BIG PLUS and if i went again i would make sure to be on these smaller boats w a small group of divers. the larger boats were loaded w lots of divers, i'm pretty sure i wouldn't want to be on those boats. overall we had a great time and it was an enjoyable trip w great weather and sea conditions. the divemaster was good. night diving was great, though the dive operation did not offer many night dives.
