Comments	It was our second time in Antigua diving with Jolly Dive and Paul & Cornelia. We did have a great time with them and there team, Davey, Mark, Gabriele. The tank were always full at 3000 psi and ready to mount our Equipment. The briefing was well made by Paul. The boat had all the safety Equipment, it an island hopper 32 feet, with place for the 12 of us. The dock is just beside the dive center and the hotel Jolly Beach so we walk to go diving and to the hotel. We saw all kinds of tropical fishes, some barracuda, one or two turtles, many nurse shark and 2 reef. And the DM harpon the lion's fish and discard them for moray ell. The hotel is nice with different size of room. If you are on a small budget get the supersaver, small and clean. We had a superior King suited for romantic couple, king bed and a small salon and some had the standard room. The property is big and direct on a great beach. The only complaint was on the variety in the buffet, the restaurant A la carte where good, The service was good and with a smile.

UW Photo Comments	Every buddy team had a small camera or gopro so we took many pictures for fun and souvenir. On the boat they don't have a bid tank for the camera but we manage to rinse it in between the dive with fresh water.
