Comments	Most noteworthy about this dive location was the plentiful coral, which was breathtaking, in color, size, and variety. The colors ranged the entire spectrum. Each dive had multiple, unique 5 star fields of coral. Think of those the most beautiful underwater photo shots that seems like they must have been photo-shopped. This was better! The resort setting was in a gorgeous cove. We were there in November, the end of the rainy season. So it rained about an hour or two a day. Fortunately, the rain was usually timed well. Sometimes it rained between dives, which was ok because we went ashore for our surface interval. All dive sites were within about 10-15 minutes away in their very fast boat. Since we were there in the off-season, there were only 2-7 divers on the boat on any one dive. The dive masters were terrific, attentive to our needs underwater and good at pointing out worthwhile sightings, including the elusive, the very well camouflaged seahorse and spotted flounder. Dives were about 55 minutes. Contrary to rumors I heard previous to the trip, the currents were not uncontrollably fast. The dive master prepared us for the few known surges inside of specific passages of coral. The boat was basic, easy to step off, with a ladder easy to climb. There was always someone there to assist. Only water was provided, no between dive snacks of any kind on the boat or on shore. The accommodations were clean. The Inn, including housekeeping, restaurant and front desk were pleasant but not attentive, even when requested. The food was just ok but not a reasonable value. This was a problem because eating out was inconvenient and very time consuming.

Enforced diving restrictions	All the dives were drift drives. So we stuck with the dive master in order to be close to the boat when we surfaced. Also there are surges of currents in specific areas, which we didn't want to experience by surprise.
