Comments [None]so the dive operation itself is much improved from last year.
enthusiastic and capable people on the boat trying to please. treated divers like adults and didn't hover over divers. rental equopment was good quality. the boat about average for the number of divers. snacks reasonably poor. camera tank barely adequate [and inadequate] if several people had brought cameras.
the main problem is the reefs have deteriorated. much of the coral is rubble with an understandable diminishing of reef fishes. few schools, fewer interesting fish. the diving was significantly WORSE than bonaire borbados and st croix which were recently visited.
