Comments The good the dive operation was very concious of weather conditions for our safety.

The bad- the reefs are not in good diving shape. The three dive shops on the Island are the only ones trying to protect them. On their best reef, Paradise, there was a lot of garbage left by other dive operations scattered about. A freighter dropped anchor on one of the reefs we dove upon causing a great deal of damage.

More Bad - the ATA airlines did everything to they could to ruin our vacation and they succeeded.

Had I known the bad I would not have gone.
