Comments	Visited during a time of high winds offshore. The staff were very concerned about our ability to take the wave motion, so much so that they seemed to talk several folks out of going out! The waves were estimated at about 2-4 feet, an estimate we found to be accurate when we went out. My dive buddy and I have been out in worse conditions and were surprised that they would risk so much business. The staff were extremely helpful, and the dive briefings were appropriate. We loved that they limited the number of divers on their boats. We even took a snorkel trip through the mangroves, with a native who regaled us with his local knowledge. In summary, we did 4 dives with them - 1 drift, 1 wreck (Benwood), 2 spur-and-groove. Lot's of fish, swimthrus, turtle on the wreck. One negative was when my dive buddy and I were assigned a third diver, whose buddy had got sick on the first dive. We weren't given any additional time to get acquainted, so failed to do any type of buddy-check (our fault), so didn't enjoy that dive
