Comments	Little Corn is a great place to visit - no car, motorbikes or golf carts anywhere on the island. Dolphin Dive did a nice job, took our gear to the boat every morning and off when we were done. They washed and stored our BC and regs for us. Divemasters were generally good and we had small groups (<9) and usually closer to 4-5 per dive. Boat is an open panga, water entry a backroll, after the dive you hand up your gear and then climb up ladder. Little Corn diving is fairly shallow, no wrecks. Fairly diverse sea life. While on some dives we didn't see tons of fish, many of the fish were bigger than those in areas like Utila where fishing pressure may be more intense. Saw tons of nurse sharks, eagle rays and sting rays. Toad fish were common. Also - unfortunately - lion fish were spotted on several dives. Best dives were out to Blowing Rock - a morning trip that did cost extra - but well worth it. This would be a great spot for a beginner, but there was enough to keep an experienced diver happy for several days of diving. Weather was great while we were there, and the dive sites are all within about a 10 minute boat ride of the shop. Did get a package deal with Hotel los Delphines and Dolphin Dive that made it very reasonable.
