Comments	This resort doesn't specialize in diving at all, but they do offer it. We had our 7 year old son with us, so we wanted a family type resort. We didn't expect much from the diving, but it was absolutely the most beautiful coral/sponge diving that we've ever done. There is a protected area called Coral Gardens(near the resort)which is quite large and seems to be virtually untouched. Very few groups seem to dive this area. There was great snorkeling as well. It was refreshing to find such a beautiful and protected reef. The resort itself was just okay, but we really liked the dive master and the dive boat. We also did one night dive, which was very well organized.
