Comments	Hurricane Emily appeared to have very little impact on the reefs where we dove. Palancar Horseshoe was very good with 100+ visibility. Saw a 6ft+ free swmimming moray eel and several turtles very closeup. Also saw a very large baracuda. Several in our party saw two sea horses and an eagle ray up close and personal. This was the first dive trip for my 11 year old son and adult friend. The dive masters were great with both and made sure that we had dive sites where both experienced and novice divers could enjoy themselves. We also had a great night dive at Paradise Reef and saw several lobsters and a free swimming octopus. The Presidente had experienced some surface damage as a result of Emily but things were well under repair during our time at the resort. All and all, the rooms were nice, the view great, and the food was very good as well. My 11 year old son has already learned that the trip home is the best time to start planning the next dive trip!
