Comments We stayed at Aldora Villa and dove with Aldora Divers. The boats would pick us up at the villa for our dives. Boats were average and what it appeared most operators were using. Aldora divers supplies steel tanks and you could request nitrox for your dives. Dive 1 would be on 32% and dive 2 would be 36%. Even with this, we were running up against our NDL limits as the dives were up to 80ft deep and up to 80 minutes long. All dives were drift dives: some walls, some reefs, & some wrecks. We could shore dive from the villa and did a few times. My wife did a 105 minute dive along the sea wall with a max depth of 14 ft average of 8. The corals were better than the Bahamas, we saw some seahorses, lettuce sea slugs, eagle rays, and a wide variety of fishes.
