Comments
In addition to living up to its reputation of being one of the best dive sites in the world, the best features of this pristine location is the excellent accomodation and service. The spacious chalets are tastefully decorated and you can sit on your private deck to listen to the birds and sounds of the water. The library must be one of the best at any dive site. Dinner conversation with our (wel-informed and well-traveled) host was a real treat and a highlight of the trip.

The dive guides are extremely skilled and know the sites quite well. but you'll need to rely on the books for name identification. Better boats are planned in the near future and a new dive operator was to start soon.

An exquisite place overall. Well-worth the long travel time to get there and the mosquito bites I came home with.
