Comments	Since I had been there several times prior to this trip I was well aware of the long flight time. No problems at all going or returning. The resort is top notch, run by owners Steve and Miranda who also built the resort. In building they were very aware of leaving as many trees as possible and those they cut were used in building the 9 client houses and dining and reception area. They are located on or near the Hairball dive site. Their reef is wonderful - beautiful and healthy coral which they help also maintain by keeping it free of any trash. Being ecologically oriented they do not use plastic straws or bottles. You are given a collapsible drinking container upon arrival to use throughout your stay. The client houses are built about 3 feet off the ground. On each porch is a private Japanese soaking tub which is turned on after the afternoon dive so you can sit in it and enjoy quiet time. Inside the house is a large daybed as well as twins or king bed. A water system provides hot or cold water for coffee or tea. A large TV is on the wall with reception of some major channels. There is a large closet with shelves and support for a suitcase to pack and unpack. The bathroom is large and has plenty of hot water for showers. Food is excellent and presented very nicely with 3 meals a day plus snacks of fruit and/or cookies after diving. Early coffee/tea has cold food or toast available, dive and then back for a full breakfast, dive again, lunch about 1pm, dive again and then dinner at 7:30. Several different food choices are available with all meals and there is always some wonderful dessert. There is a large pool overlooking the straits with houses 1,2 and 3 overlooking the pool (and straits). The three dive boats are fast runners - one large one (seating 16 or more) and two smaller ones (seating about 8). DM's were excellent and found critters so quickly that you had a hard time photographing and staying up with them. Dive sites are generally about 10-15 minutes from the resort. Interestingly enough Steve and Miranda saved about 114 green turtles during our stay. Eggs were laid where water covers the area every night meaning death for the unhatched turtles. The next morning they dug up every egg and placed them in the same order in which they were found into a large wooden-sided box filled with sand. After we left we were notified that they hatched 114 of the eggs. This is a very accommodating, very ecologically minded and beautiful resort. Highly recommend.
