Comments The Iberostar is one of the southern resorts on the island. This means the boat rides are very short. The resort and the dive shop are well run by people who seem interested in making sure that everyone has a good and safe dive. Experienced divers were given more freedom and new divers were well looked after. The currents were stronger than I have experienced there before but were manageable. The whole package offered a lot of bang for the buck. New this trip was free nitrox. I would recommend Dressel and the Iberostar.
