Comments	I seldom use the word "excellent" in describing anything. This dive operation is the best on the island. There are some good operators here, but this is best outfit I've experienced, period. The boat captains and dive masters demonstrated a very high level of situational awareness. The office staff are knowledgable, helpful, and courteous. Memo and his staff are exemplary. Now to the Villa Aldora. It dates back to the 1950s and is very well-maintained. That it has a unique and intimate ambience is an understatement. This place, managed by Brent and Debbie, while very relaxed, is very efficiently run. Often times, the return guests greet the help staff with an "embrazo a la familia." Many of the guests and divers are long-time returnees. Most have interesting stories. I can't wait to get back.
