Comments Superbly run resort. Great attitude. Nice people! Nice facilities. Quiet. Peaceful. Tropical garden. I am a lacto-ovo-vegetarian and had no trouble getting a tasty and satisfying meal. Resort has a nice freshwater pool for relaxing or diving instruction. They had an experienced instructor working with trainees.
It is further away from the airport and most town/tourist areas than other resorts. But it was not hard to get a ride in to town if you wanted one.

Diving was easy coral reef diving with no currents. I wore a 5mm hyper stretch wet suit because that is what I have, but 3mm would have been just fine. There are lots of hard and soft corals. When you get sun, it is spectacularly beautiful. We had a lot of cloudy days.
It is ~15 minute boat ride to the diving. Boat staff are helpful. Dive guides are good. I felt like I was allowed the liberty to do things pretty much the way I wanted to without undue pressure.

UW Photo Comments I snapped a few amateur shots. My underwater camera gear is pathetic. So, I don’t spend a lot of my dive time shooting. I just enjoy the sights while I am there.
