Comments	The diving was only fair but on the other hand, it was quite expensive. There was a small reef with a few groupers and scorpionfish. They were the highlights. The divemaster Johnathon was a very nice guy except with the lobster (see below). He dove with us on the tug boat without fins and used a pole with a hook to run across the boat. When we moved to the reef, he knew where a lobster lived and prodded him out of his hole with the hook (I thought that was pretty insensitive to the poor creature). The safety briefings were good. They wanted to limit us to 30 minutes on the first dive and 45 on the second at which I was initially disappointed with but once underwater, I discovered it was sufficient for the scene they showed us. Tamara at the office was very pleasant and efficient though the emails were slow as they reported tech issues.
