Comments	Crystal Blue Resort arranged for boats, crew and divermasters to accommodate the small group there focused on UW photos. We had the same boat, crew and divermaster with a group of 4. It was good because they learned our abilities and tendencies. Of course, they found all the small critters we could never have found on our own and gave use the opportunities to photograph them. They offered 4 dives per day but it could be pretty dark when the last one is finished. Most dive spots less than 30 minutes away. Only a handful with stronger current. Accommodations were nice. No TV. Wifi access in dining area. Buffet for meals, good variety of food. Facility is out of town and nothing else to do but dive. Hard to even leave the facilities.

UW Photo Comments	The room devoted to underwater photo equipment is the best I have seen. Each bay had space to work on photo equipment, including charging batteries and storing equipment.
