Comments	the bad: not great diving but ok for beginners; they do NOT go deep; the coral was bleached or dead, still there were tropical fishes; the operation is huge; meet at 8:30 am and get back ~ 2:30pm. the good: the crew was very good; lunch was served ( sandwich and cookies, drinks); very polite people; 3 divers thought ~ 80 F was warm water ( they were overweight); 77F was cold for me; the diving operation was very experienced; they rinsed our wet suits with disinfectants (99% of other dive operations do not do that); the dive shop is very organized and experienced.

Did you do the regular 2-tank am dive? They have an advanced 2-tank dive for experienced divers that goes to deeper sites (up to 130 on one trip). The Manta night dive is not to be missed. I did that and a regular am day in Jan.
