Comments	Lovely private island with good attention to detail and better-than-expected food. They accommodated our vegetarian diet with no problem, and the food was rather tasty. The limit of 50 minutes for a dive was a bit disappointing. Also, many of the reefs were rather deep, with the tops of the walls starting around 70-80 feet, so that shortens dive time, especially over the course of the week. However, many opportunities for three dives per day, and the reefs are all a 5-7 minute boat ride from the resort, which is a huge plus. Surface intervals are on the island, as the boat rides are so quick. The boats hold 12 plus a DM and captain, but with such a quick ride, it wasn't uncomfortable at all. All meals are in a dining hall and are family style, so if you want a romantic table for two, this is not this place. But, friendships are formed over the week during the meals. Overall, a great resort, even though the diving is not terribly unique. This is easy diving, just deep in many spots.
