Comments	There were very few other guests at Atlantis when we were there, so it was very quiet. The resort is very nice - we did have to move out of a back room because of diesel exhaust from an adjacent property's generator, but they put us up in a very nice ocean-view room. There is a nice pool, the dive shop is right next to the beach, and the restaurant is very pleasant. The gear storage area was convenient. We used small boats to go to most of the dive sites. The trips were generally just a few minutes. There was a wreck in the bay, and nice walls nearby. The coral was in good shape, very colorful, with lots of feather stars of many colors! We saw large schools of small fish, large numbers of shrimp, cuttelfish, octos, crabs, lobsters...and some big fish as well. My most vivid memory is just lots and lots of color. Don't miss the trip to Verde Island. While diving the wall there you are swimming through huge schools of anthias. I didn't do the Washing Machine dive, choosing instead to go for a sedate stroll through the coral gardens, and saw a couple sea krates, among other things. Divemasters were great - excellent at pointing out things, and ethical in terms of not touching the coral or animals. We did 4 dives a day, and 5 dives some days. They were happy to take us out as much as we wanted. Night dives were cool - we asked to go somewhere other than the standard Sabang wrecks, and ended up toward Sabang Point in a wonderful area of small coral heads with lots of activity and night critters out. We had a great time here, thanks to the beautiful reefs, fish and nudis, the friendly and helpful staff and the comfortable resort.
