Comments	The resort was real nice and the people were very friendly. My wife and I got the "Full fair" meal package, which means 3 meals a day with juice, water or coffee to drink. Carbonated and alcoholic beverages were extra. The food was good and plentiful. The downside of this resort is first, it is located across the street from the main ferry terminal from Mazatlan. There were always many trucks moving in and out of the area 24 hours a day. Also, there is a waste treatment facility not too far away and some people who were in the building on the roadside of the resort were complaining about that. We were in the building farthest from the road (Next to the swimming pool) and were not bothered by the truck noise or the bad odor. The diving tended to be shallower reefs in less than 60fsw for the most part. When we told them we were interested in more challenging dives they were accommodating. I went to La Paz to see hammerheads, whale sharks and manta rays and I came home having all three. The Mantas are getting very sparse (Their words, not mine) due to over fishing as are the hammerheads. Both whale sharks I saw were fairly small - one being about 12 feet and the other 15 feet. The manta we saw was about 8 or 9 feet tip to tip. Will I go back? Definitely!

UW Photo Comments	The boat had a dry area in the cabin where cameras could be opened without fear of water splashing into them. There were also two rinse buckets on board.
