Comments	Based on the experience of the boat, Jeremy at Living Underwater scheduled some nice long, deeper dives. There was no limitation on dive time other than the gas in your tank. Jeremy has an excellent operation acting as divemaster, along with a deckhand and captain. All three are focused on your comfort and satisfaction. The surface intervals took place on shore at various beach clubs that Jeremy has priveleges, mostly before peak hours which was quite nice. LU provides Faber steel tanks with 120s usually reserved for men, and 95s for women. This comes in very handy with differing consumption rates. On board between dives were dry towels, snacks and water or soft drinks. Jeremy's boat is small, so he limits his capacity at roughly 8 divers, which is excellent given I prefer to avoid cattle boats. During our diving with LU, we stayed at Villa Blanca Hotel. Very clean and nicely appointed for the price. LU picked us up at the dock across the street from Villa Blanca. There are a couple places to eat within walking distance for lunch and dinner; an OXXO mini-mart a few steps from front door. Request a room near the restaurant to optimize your wifi signal.
