Comments the Good: diving was ok, not fabulous; one dive master took off your fins underwater before climbing back into the boat ( only the 2nd time in1184 dives).

The bad: there was substantial surges on both dive sites; there was no free pick up at my condo which was far from Punta Cana-- charged $10; long delay in getting ride back to Bavaro Green; the charge for credit card was 6.5%. There was coral and lots of brown coral. My Sealife camera had problems and low battery after charged day before.

The head instructor was aware of Ciguatera poison from 4 types of fish there; he even
knew about the fatal, blowfish toxin.

There was one sting ray and 1 lion fish and some snappers.
