Comments	Family of 4 for first post-certification open water tropical diving. Could not have made a better choice of destination or dive ops. From the first day, Reef Divers staff made us welcome and gave us the confidence and support to dive successfully, safely and have a great time. Valet service was a big plus for us as new divers (could concentrate on in-water diving basics). Could follow divemasters (which we often did) or go on own (which we also did) and explore on our own around boat to finish dive. Entry by giant stride from comfortable rear deck; exit by large stern laders with tailing line to prevent ladder traffic jams. Boats comfortable and well laid out, even when full to capacity. Excellent, entertaining and informative but not overwhelming pre-dive briefings. Good camaraderie with fellow divers. Very thorough roll calls after dives completed. Plenty of snacks, fruit, water for surface intervals. Typical day was deep first dive, often with interesting swim-throughs and/or wall. Shallower spur & groove reef for 2nd AM dive. Lunch at shore. PM dive, more spur & groove, more laid back but still lots to see; fewer divers for PM. Garden eels, flying gurnards, nurse sharks, juvenile spotted drum, lobster, flamingo tongue, tarpon!, eagle rays, huge grouper, variety of morays and more. Wrecks were a special treat and set up very well for less experienced divers to visit. Night dive was well worth it; schedule depends on advance sign-ups, so register early or be disappointed. Snorkeling from shore also excellent, if care given to coral underfoot, tide/surge conditions; many dive mooring buoys accessible from shore under right conditions; bring dive flag. Saw squadrons of squid on several occasions. Great hiking around island, very friendly locals. Cooked our own food most meals (local groceries not as expensive as rumored) but enjoyed Aunt Sha's, and highly recommend Barry's Golden Jerk stand, the absolute best; be sure not to miss, only open a few nights per week. Brac Reef resort puts out a nice buffet spread and has a good bar menu for lunches (but costs can add up quickly for a family of four; be careful). Divemasters Jason and Vicki and other Reef Divers and Brac Reef staff went out of their way to make this first tropical dive trip a success for all of us. Next trip back to the Brac, already scheduled, diving again with Reef Divers.
