Comments	We booked the Gran Caribe Real through Funjet Vacations, and were very pleased with the service of both operations. The resort is kept in excellent condition and the food and drinks(AI)were good and plentiful. We were there for a family wedding, so dive time was limited. The owners of Manta Divers(John&Mimi Dykes)picked myself and wife up from our hotel on their way into work. The boat was small, but we dived with 3 others and had plenty of room. Trip to site was quick and briefing was thorough. Swells were sizable and motion sickness became an issue while on the surface. Once below, we saw many barracuda, parrot, trigger, and butterfly fishes. Their was a big spotted eagle ray hovering over the wreck which was literaly full of grunts and snappers. The current was very strong and water was very warm from 0'-20'. Water only on the boat during SI. El Tunel was a shallow coral garden with some rocks and ledges to explore. More parrots, a green moray, and a very camera friendly nurse shark made our bottom time seem to fly by. Photographer dived with us. Pictures and/or video available after dive. They were very well done. Overall great trip and would recommend resort and dive op. Take snacks and extra water on dive boat. Medicate for sea sickness as required, and be prepared for current at wreck site.
