Comments	Overall, very pleased with the diving. Visability up north is better. Coral looks very healthy. Tons of fish to see and photography. All diving is done from small boats. Never was it crowded on the boats and never saw another dive boat at the same site. Drift diving is the norm. Currents can be very strong in the south. One dive, "flying reef", says it all. We were flying. Hard to take pictures because you could not kick hard enough to stay in one place. Dove with Frontier Divers. The owner, Big Dougie is a great guy. Looked after everyone's safety and made the diving fun. He bases his operation at the Sandy Point Beach Club. Very nice set up. Friendly staff, large rooms with full kitchens. We eat in three nights. Walking distance from the air port. Plane noise is not a problem. One word of warning. They dive on the left side of the road and most cars steer from the right hand side. Unless you plan on doing a ton of driving, it would be smarter and safer, to hire a driver. It was even cheaper.
