Comments	We have been coming here, sometimes twice a year since 1996. The dive shop is top notch, and can repair almost anything; they also have a good selection of equipment for sale. It is a $12.00 ride from the airport if you don't rent a car, lots of grocery stores and restaurants close by. Our favorite restaurant is At Sea; Cuba downtown is great for drinks and people watching. There is a new wine bar in the cruise terminal shops we have yet to try. The Carib Inn has rooms with refrigerators and cooking facilities. The rooms are basic- no luxury here, but very comfortable. There are lockers to store bcs and wetsuits overnight. There is a house reef right on the property- you can just jump off the dock. The dive boats are small, open boats, and you use a back roll to enter. They go out for a one tank dive twice a day. The dive masters are knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. You can dive your own profile- no rush to get back on the boat. This trip the Inn had several cancellations, and we were the only ones on the boat most trips- very nice as we could go to any site we wanted.
