Comments	This was our 10th trip to Pirates Point (since 1995). Since 1992 it has become one of our, must do, "rites of summer." The staff has become more like old friends or even family than the transient crew you expect at most dive resorts. Gladys Howard does no advertising, relying instead on word of mouth to bring people in. With a 75%+ repeat guest ratio we often see people we have met in the past or who come at the same time as we do year after year. I guess the message is: If you want perhaps the best diving in the Caribbean, definitely the best food at any dedicated dive resort, and wonderful people Pirates Point is the place to go.
