Comments	Some of the best corals and sponges to be seen in the carribbean, very healty reefs. Mostly small fish, local fishermen have emptied the reef of large fish. DR has friendly people and attacts Europeans. Most reasonalble place to stay, beer $1 and dinner usually $5 to $15. Nice place for a change but not a Bonaire. For the most part clean restaurants and hotels like El Candil two blocks off beach very reasonalbe with good service including pick up at airport. Treasure divers is an average operation, friendly staff. Boat is slow but reliable. Not to many divers during April. Safe operation overall. Last day had 6 to 8 ft seas and the anchor line broke while underwater, lucky the captain could retrieve the line that broke on the surface. A surprise at the end, they wanted cash, no credit cards. Spent part of the afternoon in a DR bank getting cash. Glad we went but not sure I would return unless the fish population increases.
