Comments Good: This was Shark School, Dr. Erich Ritter, is great, very knowledgeable, interesting, probably controversial but extremely experienced with sharks. I would really want to pursue other trainings with him. the crew at Prodive was fantastic. very professional.
The stay at Allegro Playacar was more than adequate for our non diving partners.

Not as good: spent 6 days diving in sand, saw a lot of rays but no sharks. Food at all inclusive only so so but lots of fruit and was available all day.

UW Photo Comments I brought my camera, there were several people with very fancy camera set ups. the boat had no facilities as we were only 5 minutes away from our site. The boat was crowded but it worked. All divers on this trip were exceptional with many years of experience
