Comments	This is Atlantic diving so rocky reefs and volcanic rock rather than coral reefs. Plenty to see on the local dives including octopus, groupers, seahorses, moray and conger eels, nudibranchs, rays, wrasse, forkbeards, parrotfish, slipper lobsters, crabs, barracuda, bream etc. The rib is comfortable and the staff very helpful with taking gear to the boat and helping you in and out of it. The rib has a ladder too which makes exiting the water easier. Very professional staff who take great delight in spotting marine life for you. Dive sites suitable for all levels and a great 130m long Liberty wreck which is full of life. Tea, coffee, water, fruit and biscuits are provided for the surface intervals and you also have full use of the marina toilet and shower block facilities.
