Comments Pleasant surprises: the variety of underwater life to see. There were massive sdhools of fish at several of the sites, along with sea lions and turtles. The Gordo Banks trip had a massive hammerhead shark school. The whale shark trip was well organized and environmentally sensitive. The dive operator also shared go pro videos with us at no extra charge.
The major downside was the apparent lack of organization by the dive operator for one of the trips (2 dives out of 10 total). Nitrox was about 27 - 29. I had one shortfill on a tank, but there was no offer to switch it out.
The hotel was conveniently located (in the same building), but suffered from maintenance issues. Our room key failed on 3 separate occasions.
