| Comments | I was with PADI Total Submersion group for the seventh time. Sunset House dive operation is super. Boats left on time, good dive briefings, dive guided or on your own. 24 hour shore diving from Sunset house dock. Shore diving is very diverse, from large tarpon and barracuda to nudibranches. My Bar has good atmosphere, many locals and divemasters hang out there. Sea Harvest restaurant has everything from grilled cheese sandwiches to full course meals and are reasonably priced. All can be eaten at My Bar or in the restaurant. Rooms are good and clean but nothing special. If you are an avid photographer, bring a power cord with you to charge your cameras and strobes, as electric plugs are limited in the rooms. | ||

| UW Photo Comments | Boats are adequate for point and shoot. SLR's with housings and strobes are not the best. Shore area has big bench for cameras only and rinse area. | ||
