Comments	I have been coming at this location for the past 20 years. I had to change Dive Center as the old one change owner and it did not offer a good service. With Tropicasud Diving (5 stars PADI center) they offer Two dives in the morning and one in the afternoon for training and beginner. The RIB boat with a 300 hp, can take 15 divers but it never full. There is no head and they offer water and hot tea between dive. The staff Eric (PADI IDC instr.) and Nico speak english. There was french speaking divers (French and Canadian) English and German. On every dive we saw green Turtles, Anglefish, blue tang, Lion’s fish, lobster, crab, eels, cromis. We had more then 30 feets of visibility. Dropping in the water is by back roll and getting out it though two ladders in the back side, the staff will help with tank if needed. The Villa is on a hill side 3 min by car from the village. You can rent a two, three or forth room villa. Each villa has it own poll, livingroom, dining and a american kitchen, each room has air conditioning and private toilet and shower. They are facing Grande Anse beach. The village has many restaurant offering french and Creole cooking. You need a car to go around, easy to rent from Location Lascar in the village and can be pick up at the aeroport.
