Comments	Our group of 3 (1 Assistant Instructor & 2 Master Scuba Divers) made reservations with Albatros as we prepared to take our cruise. Reservations were handled correctly and promptly. We took a quick taxi ride from the international cruise ship pier to meet the Albatros boat, the 25' "Libra", an open boat with a canopy. One of our divers had specified the size of the BC that he required but it was not on the boat. Owner Rita quickly got one from their shop and we were on our way. Captain Edwin and Divemaster Pedro did a superb job of asking us about the type of dives we wanted and making the entire experience great. Drinks, pineapple slices and even cake were served between dives 1 & 2. After dive 2 we dropped off the only other diver on the boat at the marina and enjoyed lunch (tacos) with Edwin and Pedro before heading out for dive 3. A day of diving arranged with a great local operator like this always beats a diving "excursion" provided by the cruise line operator. Albatros is a great operation and I would not hesitate to recommend them.
