Comments	The RIU Palace as a resort was fabulous. My biggest complaint was with the t.v. stations not a big selection and alot in Spanish. Service in the restaurants could have been a little more attentive on refilling of drinks but otherwise fantastic. The dive operation Mayan Aqua Dive which is located in the resort Club International De Cancun and run by Ben Mooney met all my expectations. Had email correspondence with Ben weeks before vacation to line up dives and notified him when in town and he arranged for me to be picked up at my resort everyday that I was diving either by himself or another member of the staff. Great service by a shop owner in my opinion.

UW Photo Comments	The boat has no camera table but you're also not on a cattle barge so the risk of damage in my opinion was minimal. I don't have an elaborate setup so it was fine for me.
