Comments	Bottom line: Coco view is the best place I have been when you factor in: ease of getting there / cost / # of dives / dive quality / food & accommodations / the people. This was my 6th time there and I will be back. This place is great and really is a "land-based liveaboard" as they market it. You can dive 24x7 (I did 26 dives in the week I was there) and they make everything easy for you. Great, simple, food and good accommodations (not a 5 star hotel, though). All the staff are friendly and helpful and many of them have been there for many years, which says something. Many guests have been there many times as well and, since it’s a diving-only place, everyone is very friendly, and all of the guests interact with the each other – very unlike a typical resort. Typical Caribbean fish and corals in abundance. What I have noticed through the years is that there seem to be fewer large fish. There is an abundance of smaller creatures, however, and the divemaster's are expert at finding interesting things. If you are older and your vision isn't 100%, I recommend some sort of vision correction or magnification for your mask, or maybe just a magnifying glass. Some stuff was only apparent looking at the camera images after the dive. They have done a good job with lionfish and I only saw a couple this trip (many more a couple of years ago). I highly recommend Coco View!
