Stayed at Fairmont Orchid and the dive shop was in hotel next door(about a 10 minute ride in the hotel's shuttle). small boat (a six pack)with 4 divers on it. confortable,very friendly, they set up my equipment(I usually like to do it myself, but hey, nice touch). water viz and temp was nice.Coral was decent, fish life also.some turtles,morays(small) and a variety of fish.Just another day in paradise. |
