Comments	Dive boats were 24ft. covered pangas with large outboard engines. Could run pretty fast, but needed to in order to get to distant dive sites. All employees were friendly, courteous and helpful. Very short but adequate site briefings. Usually cautioned about the currents but none very strong. Dives were guided but not required. Guide on each dive. No more than 4 divers on any day. Most days it was only 2. Most of our dives were in the Cabo Pulmo Marine Park. Very good variety and volumn of marine life. From mantas to very large groupers, huge schools of goat fish, jacks, sardines, puffers and others. One school of puffers numbered over 100. 5 different kinds of eels. Huge numbers of green morays. A few turtles. Nice seafans. A few nudis. Saw leaping mantas on surface during boat ride as well as a mother and calf whale and a school of what I was told was white-bellied dolphins Hotel was a small, mainly dedicated fisherman's lodge. Wonderful Mexican charm. Good variety for an all-inclusive.
