Comments The operator coordinated with resort management to get us to and from the boat everyday and drove us personally if needed. The staff, boat crew and dive masters were patient, knowledgeable had an excellent attitude. The Diving was wicked cool. The boat ride to dives spots were occasionally rough but that’s the weather. This is a remote location and Pro Dive preformed many roles excellently. I want to return to this place and this dive operator.

Overall rating for UWP's 4 stars Shore Facilities N/A
UW Photo Comments The boat facilities were zero on the R.I.B. Just what you would expect. The crew would help you with entering the boat after diving which again is really all you can expect. The camera help was good enough for the boat size and set up.
