Comments	The Reef Club resort is FAR from town so not for sightseers. Pay attention to the signs or you'll drive right past the road to get to the resort. The on-site dive store refused to rent us tanks or weights as we were not diving with them. Resort food was ok, we've had better. For the most part, the staff were not helpful or friendly so those who were really stood out. Bottom line- not worth our (or your) time. Xtabay divers is run by Dario and he runs an excellent service. He found big fish and very tiny critters, too. We had a new diver with us and he was quite patient with her, but not to the expense of the rest of us. The boat was big enough for 7-8 divers plus Dario and the captain so far from being a cattle boat. We've dove with him before and have yet to be disappointed! Great experience and dive operation!
