Hands-down still the absolute best operator we have ever had the pleasure of diving with. Comprehensive pre-dive briefing, choice on second dive of guided or buddy team, profiles recorded then printed out upon leaving with names of dive sites visited so that they may be recorded in your log book. Not only this, but little touches like fresh towels, hot chocolate on night dives, super-friendly and accessible staff - from the office to the boat, make this a stellar operation. Saw many turtles this time, both free-swimming and eating, 2 spotted eagle rays, and first hammerhead ever!! But the corals are the real star on the East End. Incredible variety, almost no dead. The profusion of colors is mind-boggling. Many great photo ops, even if there had not been any critters. Caught superb one of the biggest adult spotted drum we have ever seen. All in all, it would be tough to have a bad dive vacation if you book with Ocean Frontiers. |
