Comments	My son-in-law, another friend and myself were the only divers. Stan the divemaster was a consumate professional. He explained the dive sites and let us choose which one we wanted to visit next. When in the water he guided the first part of the dive and then left us to our own devices. It was an absolute pleasure to have someone like him, after encountering a host of idiots at many locations. The accomodations were very adequate with good air conditioning, cable TV, and spotless rooms. The food was plentiful, tasty, and one could choose from several main courses. The walls are awesome with many crevices, swim-throughs, tunnels and openings at 40 feet which led out to the wall face at 140-150 feet. Some sections of the reef evidence considerable encroachment by a green algae which shows a preference for star corals, completely destroying them. Sponges do not seem to be affected at all. The boat was, naturally, very spacious, if somewhat slow. Nevertheless, this was not a consideration since the dive sites are close by, the furthest being about 30 minutes away. All in all, I will undoubtedly return.
