Comments	Accomodations were good, well kept. Some of the older rooms could use updating. Food was not as "gourmet" as advertised, but very good. Nitrox was a little expensive, especially since they got them from a neighboring resort and the fills were a couple of hundred psi lower than the air tanks they filled themselves. Two tank morning dives were standard. Afternoon or Dusk dives were extra and available only if 4 or more divers request them. Lots of friendly groupers, moray eels, spotted eagle ray, couple of gray reef sharks, several nurse sharks. Coral was in great shape. Non dive activities are limited. Not alot to do for non divers. Ride bikes, snorkel away from resort. This island is small and has little else to offer out of the water. If you don't dive, bring alot of books. All in all, the best diving and the best dive resort I've experienced.
