Comments Ocean Frontiers is a 1st class operation. The dive masters know the sites like the back of their hand. Before every dive the dive breifing is done and the divemaster draws a sketch of the site on a white board from memory and every one was exactly what we saw. The week before we got there they had a boat blow an engine so they were one boat short. They did everything they could to make sure we got in all of the dives we wanted and there were still no more than 12 on a boat. Once you get there you give them your gear and you never touch it again except to strap it on and jump off the boat. The condos at Compass Point are great, everything you need. They supply soap for the dishwasher and washing machine. There is a small grocery store 5 minutes away, we picked up most of our groceries after we left the airport on the way to East End. If you like quiet this the place, no cruise ship people no night life no screaming parties it was great. I highly recommend Compass Point and Ocean Frontiers to anyone that wants a quiet dive vacation with lots of great dives, we got 18 dives and could have done more.
