Comments	CSS operations right at hotel. I could see from my window. Checkin for morning dive boat at 8:30 am, with departure at 9 am. Return about 12:30 most days. Free shore diving on paid boat days. Set up and change your own tanks. No head on boat. Staff friendly and will help if you ask. One day, I was the only diver, and they still took me out. Reefs healthy, but mostly smaller fish. DM didn't rush, so there was plenty of time just to hover and watch if you saw something interesting. House reef right in front of shop with easy entry. I had my own gear, but rental equipment was fairly new, with Sherwood BCs. Rinse and storage facilities at shop (hangers for wet gear and storage lockers; bring your own lock; area gated and locked at night. I was the only one for a night dive. This is the off season, but other than a few showers, pretty good weather. I'd go back and use CSS again. Didn't see any other boats on any trips except for Mushroom Forest and the tugboat. Other than the tugboat, all dives were north of the Marriott (i.e., north of town), and didn't have the algae found at tugboat. Mix of European and US divers, no cruise ship divers.
