Comments	The entire operation is set up extremely well. Accommodations were basic, but neat and clean, very well maintained. Staff was very friendly and helpful at all times. They went out of their way to make the guests feel welcome and comfortable. Dive boats, dive guides and diving itself was superbe. We were 2 groups of 5 on our boat and had plenty of space. Towels, snacks, hot and cold drinks were provided between dives. There was a roomy head/changing room, too! Captain and dive guides accomodated our wishes where possible. Dive guides were protective of the reefs and critters - a good thing in my book! The currents could change without warning. On one dive the current was so bad, we drift-dove vertically to fight the speed. That said, on all other dives the currents were quite manageable to not present. Good to know for future visitors: don't bring gloves and be prepared to use the metric measuring system (my 2 dive computers came in handy here: I set one to metric and left the other one set to the more familiar imperial units). Overall, this is a must-visit/dive little part of the world. Don't miss it!

UW Photo Comments	Mostly macro photography. Some of the critters (eg pygmy sea horses) were so small you couldn't see them with bare eyes. There is so much to see and photograph, film just wouldn't suffice. Go digital in this location!
