Comments Dive With Martin (divewithmartin.com) is all about taking care of their customers. We made this trip only a few months after Hurricane Wilma and the island has made an exceptional recovery. While damage to the reefs is to be expected, we enjoyed the new swim throughs, increased numbers of large fish, and large schools of smaller fish. We saw multiple turtles on every dive, and barracuda. On one particular dive we counted 15 Moray Eels, some swimming in open water. We also saw Eagle Rays on almost every dive. The DMs at Martin's are masters at finding interesting critters and sharing their knowledge of the island. Our group was the only to book a third afternoon dive each day so we opted to turn it into a "salvage" dive - one of the fun aspects of the trip. We assisted in removing some of the debris in the more damaged areas. Can't wait to go back can see how much more the diving has improved.
