Comments The facility was OK, but I thought it was going to be nicer. Wish I had known that they didn't have strong dive masters. We had intended to have our teenage son take the PADI Advanced diver course and decided not to do it when we saw the quality of the operation.
+ our boat had to be towed twice during the week.
Shore diving - only place for shore diving had poor visibility because of boat traffic and little coral or marine life
