Comments	We dive with Rainbow Reef every time we do our annual drive and dive trip. While hte instructors do tend to rotate from year to year, I have only been disappointed by the caliber of the guides once. Not this trip. The guides and captains know that they are cattle cars to the dive sites and have differing levels of experience but what makes me come back time and again si the flexibility and the service that they offer in booking and dealing with unpredictable conditions. They only do deep dives in the mornings which is where I llike to go (Spiegel, Duane, etc.). The night dives were also fun but get used to being on Molasses Reef a bunch. The drift diving is okay but th wrecks really make it worth it.
