Comments	Instead of getting bounced around on a boat trip to the dive sites, we contacted Octopus Reef and Renee met us at two shore divesites (one day and one night). She picked the sites based on the conditions and knew the undersea inhabitants very well. My wife and I knew many of the fish we were seeing, but Renee was able to identify some new ones for us topside in her photo book before we dove as well as some others using a slate once we were under. We saw many rare wrasses and eels and a leaf scorpionfish. I tend to go slow and find the small critters while my wife looks at the big picture more. Renee's style was able to make it work for both of us. I recommend her to both advanced divers and beginners.
