Comments	We did three two tank adventure dives with Agua Adventures. They were a professional operation that delivered a safe and enjoyable experience. The adventure dives start with a morning deeper dive, which by nature of the area, is not too deep (maximum about 60 feet in our experience). The second dive was shallower in the beautiful reefs surrounding the Isla. The dive boat was not new or as outfitted as others we have been on, but the crew easily made up for any of these issues by carrying our gear, setting up all of the gear, and helping all divers don their gear and back roll in. The absence of a ladder made us nervous at first, but we quickly discovered that the low aft platform made it easy to pop up out of the water without beating yourself up on a ladder in the swells. I actually came home from a dive trip without huge bruises on my legs! The entire crew was fantastic. They even washed the gear for us when we got back from our dive, sending us off to the shower while they did so. We did not have to lug gear back and forth either. They kept our gear hanging in their shop for the duration of our trip. It was clean and dry and on the boat ready for us each day we showed up. It was really a treat. We had ample room on the boat, as we were the only three divers on two of our three dives and had a total of five the third day. Dive briefings were comprehensive and the group stayed together, as currents made every dive a drift dive. The boat was expertly handled on the surface and was there to retrieve us at the end of each dive. Because the dives were drift, all divers entered and exited together. While this could be a problem for some groups with air suckers and misers, it worked just fine for our group. Currents were moderate to swift. We were treated to fabulous elkhorn coral, a few sharks, plenty of sizable tropical fish, lots of puffers, a small ray and a huge turtle. The marine preserve is especially nice, with beautiful corals and swarms of tropical fish. I imagined that a night dive here would be fantastic; we may find out on our next trip.

Enforced diving restrictions	All dives were drift dives, so the group entered and exited together. We were in a small group (3 of us on 2 days and 5 on the other), so it was not a problem. The Divemaster, Wilburt, was great at seeing that everyone was happy.
