Comments	We keep returning to this place for the pristine reefs, easy diving conditions and warm water. After three years away from diving, returning to the 86-degree water and excellent diving conditions was just what we needed. The reefs are in great shape, no broken coral or fans encountered. I did two morning dives every day, and occasionally an third dive in the afternoon. Night dives are available. The resort has survived the pandemic in excellent shape, and their working relationship with the local village, which was very good, has actually improved during the pandemic, with new food gardens, etc. Lots of U/W photographers here, with a good workroom for them to store, and work on gear, with charging facilities etc. For us non-photographers, we did not need to buddy with the camera guys, so no interference with subject matter underwater.
