Comments	Good: A funky, very laid back place for a vacation. Everything is taken care of. The food is excellent, varied, and plentiful. Wine is ok, and also plentiful. Open bar for guests [but no drinking in the AM before diving!]. Lunch served about 15 minutes after returning from the morning dives. Cocktail hour before dinner, with hors d'ouvres. After dinner, dominoes with Gladys. A good dive op, with plenty of DM attention for those who want it. Small groups on the "guided tour". Several eagle rays were spotted on this trip, and a turtle or 2. A nice boat, and fun, informative DM's who have a serious respect -- almost a reverence -- for the reefs and life down there. Accommodations are decent, and it was worth it to us to pay $10 extra a day for A/C. Lots of hammocks in the shade for afternoon naps. Gladys is a genial hostess and made us all feel like family. Not so Good: I was disappointed that there were not as many fish, and very few large fish -- considerably down from when I was at Bloody Bay Wall 4 years ago. But the corals are healthy despite the big hurricane last year, and there are lots of juveniles, so the populations will come back. Those who want an early start to the dive day will be disappointed, as the dive staff also serve and clean up from breakfast, making departure ~9AM, and return ~1:30 or 2PM. No afternoon dives, infrequent night dives.

Enforced diving restrictions	DM's stated max depth and times, but we were free to dive our computers and breathe out the air in our tanks. I never felt rushed. Buddy pairs strongly suggested, but not mandated. DMs led "guided tours" for those who wanted to join.
