Comments Subway Watersports is managed by Bob Herb (expat American) who has been there five or so years as have most of the staff, which indicates a good operation to me. The divemasters, boat captains & land personnel are friendly & helpful.

The boats are roomy & not overcrowded since the operation has several boats & run them according to number of divers. Unfortunately the reef does have a good bit of bleaching but Bob says at this point in time the reefs are actually improving.

The shop has very good rental gear & nitrox if you're willing to pay for it.
