Comments	The prettiest eco-island in the Caribbean, with beautiful waterfalls, plants, birds, hiking. Two dives per day (only) - both in the morning - leaves time for island touring, which is arranged (and encouraged) by Castle Comfort but well worthwhile. Fishing by locals means very few fish of any size. Try not to look at the fish traps while you are diving. Still, lots of frogfish and seahorses. Dive operation okay but a different divemaster nearly every day meant divers never established much rapport with any one of them. It also caused divemasters to be overly cautious with experienced divers since the day's new divemaster had never seen any of us in the water. As a consequence, we dove the easier sites except for the last day when we finally convinced the crew to go outside the protected harbor. Great dives outside.
