Comments	Gilles and Frank run a solid, top-notch operation. We never dove with more than 4 people. Entry is back roll and BC and tank can be removed prior to climbing out on ladder. You set up your gear for the first dive each day and then they changed it between dives. Two one tank dives in morning and one dive in afternoon ( class or beginners.) Usually one dive inside lagoon and second dive outside. Dive shop has rinse facilities, fresh water showers, and well ventilated, locked storage facility for gear left overnight. Gilles and Frank are very safety conscious, gave complete and detailed dive briefings, and were eager to point out interesting finds during each dive. They are personable and enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable about local sites and marine life. Hard coral abundant and in good condition - no soft coral or sponges. Fish were very curious, swimming right into your mask. Saw a few black tip and lemon sharks on each dive as well as turtles, sting rays, large trigger fish guarding nests, lionfish, variety of eels, barracuda, remora, and plentiful reef fish. Steel tanks are used so reduce weights accordingly. Well run, first class operation - very enjoyable.
