Comments The on-site dive shop was barely adequate but the service and staff were excellent. They made up for the higher than usual cost per dive. The divemasters gave good briefings and did a good job of leading the dives. All dives were drift dives and the boat crew picked up the divers promptly. The biting bugs around the resort were bad enough to keep us in the pool between activities. A day trip to the Blue Hole confirmed that the diving near there is great while the Blue Hole itself is still a lousy dive.
