Comments	This was one of our all time favorite dive trips. It was excellent above and below the water. Paul and Crisna were excellent hosts who constantly strove to make this the best trip for us. Staff was incredible, helpful, and always friendly with a genuine smile. The diving was excellent. Very healthy reef with elkhorn, staghorn, and pillar coral in abundance. Fish life was mostly small but always good to see. Our major underwater encounters were 4 jumps with whale sharks; saw two sperm whales blowing for a minute ot two and then sounding; a brief but exillarating snorkle with a large pod of dolphins; a 50 minute dive with two spotted eagle rays. The resort was as excellent as the diving. Our bungalow was clean and comfortable with a great view of the beach and water, and the mainland Honduran mountain range in the distance. Food and service was excellent as was the swimming pool and hot tub. This was a terrific trip and we cannot wait for out next visit.
