Comments	The good: Uncrowded dive sites, diving your own profile, lots to see and get excited about. Saw lots of Lionfish, juvenile and adult, saw many nudibranches, giant clams, cuttlefish, octopus, shrimp, sharks, potato cod, olive sea snakes, rays and more and more. Extremely friendly, courteous staff. Very knowledgable dive master and good dive breifings. Diemi, the main DI, was a 6-year veteran of the operation and easy-going. The bad: The steam to Osprey Reef was a killer, had high seas, but if you're going, not much can be done about that. Wear socks with rented fins, got major blisters because I didn't. Yes,would go again. (just send me the money! ha ha Professional, friendly and helpful staff from check-in to check-out.
