Comments	Great staff, great food. Arlee, the chef. and Roy, assistant chef, made huge effort to create a varied and healthy menu and should be commended on their success. One of our very experienced divers wanted to use a smaller tank (she came up with 1800+ psi EACH dive), but DM (Eddie) was reluctant to accommodate. Diving was varied, visibility was either good, or poor, depending on the dive site. Dive staff could have given a bit more dive site info, and pointed out more of the interesting critters, but might have been fairly busy as they preferred we dove as a large group (14 divers), versus allowing us to dive our own profiles and dive at our own speed. Reef hooks, available at Fish and Fins were available for purchase and are well designed and critical. Wet Suit stowage/drying on the boat was a bit cramped. Suggest bringing own rail clamps for drying various gear. Charito, at Fish N Fins, was extremely helpful with questions, as well as logististics. Colleen, at Reef and Rainforest, was great!
