Comments	On almost every dive we saw sharks, hammerheads most often, then reef sharks, occasional nurse sharks. Many turtles and normally very calm and unafraid of divers - great photo models. Also on several sites there are sting rays swimming around on the sand under the boat - also very approachable. Friendly nassau groupers are great. Saw large octopus and lots of big crabs plus lobsters on the night dive (one included in week trip at no extra charge). A couple of times we saw whales from the boat. Boat captain Bruce and divemaster Lupo were extremely helpful - very relaxed, but everything is taken care of. The boat is very comfortable - nice dive platform, ladders, plenty of space in and out of the sun. Overall really nice dive operation. The hotel is nothing to rave about, but the rooms are clean, good sized and have a beautiful view. No night life except the little bar at the Riding Rock unless you want to pay to go to the Club Med, which no one did on our trip. Riding Rock is a laid back place for serious divers, and we were all pretty tired by the end of the day anyway.

UW Photo Comments	Amazing visibility and plenty of subject matter large and small, beautiful wall and swim throughs. Boat has a large rinse tank and staff is very helpful and careful with handling cameras. No camera shop on the island, so be sure to bring everything you need - batteries, etc. Hotel rooms have ample space for setting up equipment.
