Comments	Love Aquanuats. We have been diving with this shop now for 10 years!! They are safety conscience good dive briefs, helpful staff, and just easy diving. From the dive shop, load up the gear into a cart, walk about 3 minutes to the boat, load it in, and off we go...dive sites are about 5-10 minutes away. You are allowed to dive your air, and the shop is known for the long dive times. Our shortest dive has been 73 minutes, with the longest 93 minutes. Even with the deeper dives, you go down for 20-30 minutes and then multi-level up the reef, which gives you the long dive times. The fish population has gone down over the years, as tons of sport boats leave the marine, and they do not do catch and release. Closer to the marina entrance are some sites that just have rivers of fish, as the sport boats take clients out further 'to get their money's worth'. Turtles are usually seen most dives, though this year we only saw 1. Lots of moray eels this year, and of course the usual stuff. We have stayed at the Catalonia for several years, but they have gone downhill quite a bit, so we now stay at Dreams which is very nice. Food is great and the staff are wonderful. We shall keep coming for the diving here.
