Comments	Sogod Bay Scuba resort is one of the best run Dive Resort we have been too with excellent customer service in all areas. The resort provides a variety of diving including: Walls, Reefs, Drift, Muck diving and Whale Shark trips when in season. The small resort has two instructors and with excellent safe Dive operations, detailed briefings and Nitrox for every dive. The dive guides were excellent pointing out rare fish and critters. The resort owners are on-site and often diving with you. Snacks and drinks were provided between all dives. We were most impressed with the restaurant and the new chef that has been on staff for less than a year. The full-service restaurant features fresh cooked dinner and lunch specials and dessert. Over 70% of the guests are repeat customers who will be delighted with the new chef. A few more places to hang towels, swim suits etc…. would be appreciated. The in-room TV did not seem to be working the week we were there. Good Wi-Fi connections and reservations were easy to make with prompt responses for all questions and inquiries. Most of the staff have been at the resort for years. Rental gear is in great shape.
