The dive operator does a great job in getting us off the boat easily and safely- they bring the gear to you at the back and you put it on and jump in- no awkward stepping to the back of the boat with fins on. I really liked that they got us to Bloody Bay Wall- in 6 days of diving there were 4 days when we were the only ones over there and this is where the best diving is. The dive masters are friendly, competent and leave us alone if we are not in trouble. Paradise Villas is right at the water- the facility is well kept and the food at the restaurant is really good. When you order a salad with chicken- you get a lot of chicken- not just a few strips of it like in the States. About the only thing I wish I had known was that breakfast could be a challenge in your villa when they ran out of milk at the store because the supply barge could not get in. I might have had a different plan for breakfast which is not served at the restaurant. Not a big deal. The dive operation and hotel have all the logistics figured out. |
