Comments Outstanding bottom scenery when the sun is shining. In February, water temp was as low as 75 deg...make sure you have the right wetsuit (I did not and froze my butt).

Excellent fish numbers and species. Loads of many kinds of nudibranchs.A photographer's dream.

Atlantis Resort is 1st class, although neighborhood lacks charm...lots of street vendors trying to sell you trinkets...but small shops sell loads on non-tourist goods, including a full pharmacy withing a short walk as well as a small medical clinic, adequate for minor injuries and medicinal needs.
