Comments	Villa Eden is a 5 bedroom house w/ pool 0n the channel south of San Miguel. Not cheap; cabs or rental car needed to get to town. It took two days to get the hot water on. Snorkeling possible there but not great. Kitchen adequate for cooking. Aldora as usual has steel tanks for longer bottom times, Nitrox for $10/tank, and small boats-our largest group of divers was seven. We went to any sites requested and found the current way too strong at the north end out of the park but other nearby sites were easier, even saw a batfish there. The divemasters and boat operators are excellent and fun to be with-Allie even went to dinner w/ us. The reefs are in good shape and we saw fewer lionfish since our last visit about three years ago. The huge coral towers are like nowhere else in the Caribbean. It's all drift diving here. The lobsters seem to be getting bigger.
