Comments	it was good diving as usual; lots to see; but, some sites like West Escareo were repeated; new DMs; Germans like that dive operation ( Peter goes there Dec . and May ea. yr.) First time there were 8 divers to Bonito island; 1st dive had too strong current; 2nd dive had lots of fishes ; some were Anthias; most surprising were dive wet suits on other divers--- 5 mm was very soft; also, besides IST , there is WEB (reversed E) which has zippers on wrists and ankles. I have to check that my hotel bill was higher than quoted. And, the door was hard to shut or lock which was a delux room. Food was cheaper and service much better at the Tropicana restaurant. Also, tipping was not expected. Only did 10 dives since I was to dive Anilao the following week. The diving and hotel was discounted for returning divers.
