Comments We had a windy time in June when the whole 15 person family descended on Iberostar resort for my 80th birthday for a weeks' stay. Two new granddaughter divers were on the trip and one grandson who passed his test on site. I knew what to expect as far as fish life from trips to this island years ago. The only time we saw any large critters was the first day when I normally do not take a camera. That was the last nurse shark or any shark sighting for the remainder of the week. The only other large fish life were several turtles and a few porcupine fish, parrot fish and trigger fish. I did not see any nudibranchs. DMs were very good mainly in helping the new divers acclimate themselves with buoyancy issues. The trip was fun having everyone there but the diving was really just fair.
