Comments	We had eight divers for the week on a boat that could easily habdle 15. Dive sites very close, 5-8 minutes by boat. Longest ride 15 min. All inclusive including airport transport from Belize city to dock & island. About 2-1/2 hours by boat to island. Free pop & beer on shuttle boat. Eight on staff on island including daily maid service in cabana. Air cond adequate & standard cabana comfortable. Food was very good and they went out of their way to do special requests. ie Conch fritters! Fish life very good. Coral & reef health very good. Saw Hammerhead, Black Tip & nurse sharks, Manta, Eagle & Southern rays, many turtles,one swam with us for 7 to 8 minutes. Joe pointed out many small animals & unusal corals etc. Normal reef fish abundant. Three dives per day and one night dive. Beach areas good, kayaks available free. Casual fishing fun during surface time. TV available at cantina but no one turned it on all week. Emergency sat phone on island but not needed thankfully. Side entry boat easy to use even in 4 - 6 foot seas. All staff exceptionally friendly & eager to help in every way. If you want to relax & dive & eat & be treated well...Manta Resort is it! If night life is your bag...bring your own!
