Comments	Love, love Aquanauts. Have dove with them for about 3 years now. Crew is very attentive to camera gear and helping you in and out. DM's are friendly and safety conscience. South of Puerto Aventuras the fish life is not the greatest, but deep dives can result in beatiful corals and sponges. Nurse sharks are seen here a lot. North of Puerto Aventuras you get more of a 'current', and it still isn't like Cozumel, and there is more fish life, and the barrel sponges can be HUGE. We found depending on time of year you go, you can see turtles on every dive, and then go back a different time, and see none. Lots of eels, and rivers of fish. Lots of lion fish, they let you spear them, and hubby got at least 40 in 12 dives. This dive op is not a cattle boat and long dives are encouraged! You won't be disappointed diving with them.
