Comments	We booked this trip (including hotel) through Stuart Cove. After some initial confusion on their part (they sent us someone else's vouchers), logistics unfolded smoothly. The primary purpose of the trip was the SC shark dive. We're not sure the extent to which we endorse open water feeding, but thought it appropriate to see it for ourselves. Though we're not sure where we now stand, we must note that SC conducted the dive professionally and safely. We very much enjoyed the dive, and the many sharks do indeed swim near (great video/pics!). Also, SC is to be commended for professionally handling the large number of divers during our stay. On the last of our non-shark dives, the boats were filling up, and SC arranged for my wife and me and 3 other divers to go out on a smaller boat with one of their most senior DMs (and a fish ID geek!). We had one of our best reef dives ever (including two new sightings, which is rare after 200+ dives). Finally, we stayed out the Orange Hill Inn. It is a little tired, but very reasonably priced, and very accomdating to divers. Since it's on the SC bus transport circuit, it was also very convenient.
