Comments	This was our fifth visit so we clearly like the reefs, diving, service, accommodations, etc. This trip was regularly pushed off due to COVID but the time seemed right. I am happy to report that the resort is functioning as well as it has in the past with no let down in quality, attitude, etc. We understand that the reefs are in even better shape because the resort continued to make payments to the local villages in lieu of their fishing the reefs. There has not been too much turn over in dive guides either and they remain superb. Staff are eager to help carry cameras, etc. The service generally is the best we have ever experienced anywhere. There is wind at this time of year but it lessened over our two week stay so we made it to sites to the east. Similarly visibility regularly improved as is typical.
