Comments	The dive sites offer a wide variety for the diver; wrecks, coral reefs, historic artifacts, small and large fish (saw 3 eagle rays, tons of lobsters, southern rays, barracuda, & eels), excellent night dive sites, and deep dives for the Advanced Open Water scuba diver. Golden Rock Dive Center's owners and dive masters made every effort to make every dive fun, educational, and accommodated our wishes on which dive sites we wanted to dive, and our desires on air or nitrox. They assisted us with suggestions/recommendations for hotels, restaurants, and places on to see on the island. We completed 12 dives in our week on Statia and enjoyed every minute We stayed at Orange Bay Hotel. A number of good restaurants are within a few walking minutes of the dive center...Boardwalk, Blue Bead, Old Gin House, and the Orange Bay Hotel Restaurant. Thanks to Sarah & Dave (owners) and Celine & Michael (dive masters) for providing us with an overall wonderful experience...we cannot wait to return for more diving. There are zero casinos on Statia, the night life is slow, and tourists are not elbow to elbow!!
