Comments	There is not much shade on the boats. Cover up and use lip block. There is dengue fever there so use mosquito repellent when on land. . The boat rides can be long. Liquids are provided on the boat. The boat captain cannot be trusted to set up your equipment. Check it yourself. I was given one tank that was two thirds full. Twice the inflator hose was not connected. Open the tank yourself. They also are poorly trained as to how to be helpful you with your tank. Two people had their wallets stolen off of the boat. My dive light was missing for a day. It had my name on it as did my gear bucket. After complaining it appeared. The rinse bucket for cameras is poor and the one on shore was often very dirty and had little water in it. The hotel is adequate. It has hot water and AC. It is pretty clean but needs upkeep. The toilet had difficulty flushing. The food was good but pricey.

UW Photo Comments	POOR. There is no camera room. The camera tank was dirty and too small on shore. O n the boat it was enough to dunk one camera at a time. The highlight was the sea lions and bait balls.
