Comments Great diving with Alison and boat driver Carlos, as usual.
Alison knows how to find the critters, and which reefs are good/safe to dive on per weather/water conditions.
All reefs looked healthy after a pandemic-induced break from cruise ships and divers. No signs of stony coral disease or bleaching. Lots of fish!
