Comments Hotel was outstanding in every way. Dive operator (Scuba Du) had top notch service, from staff, divemasters, and instructors. Emphasis was more on safety than is typical in U.S., yet it never got in the way of doing the best dives. Our daughter got certified, and we took an advanced course, and in both cases the instructors were more extremely thorough and knowledgeable. You never have to touch your gear if you are so inclined...it is always at the boat waiting for you, rinsed and clean. Best resort diving we have ever done.
