Comments	The staff of Ocean Vibes is first class. We handed Andre and Curtis our gear and never had to worry about a thing. A dive light flooded on our second day, and it was repaired overnight. They are professional, friendly, fun, and safe. The wall dives on West Caicos were excellent. The coral at 50' atop the wall ranged from stressed (by algae) to healthy. The dive boat, Island Beauty, is twin outboard with a stern ladder, head, and lots of bench seating for a comfortable one hour ride from Turtle Cove Marina. The dive operation provided a complimentary shuttle from our resort in Grace Bay to the marina and back. We will happily dive with Ocean Vibes on our next visit. The lion fish have decimated the parrot fish population in some places, thus the algae is growing in those places. Overall, the reef is very healthy. Royal West Indies Resort is a beautiful property with an excellent on-site restaurant, and the beach at Grace Bay is the best we have ever seen. Front desk staff not very friendly, but rest of the staff is very nice. We had a spacious one bedroom unit with full kitchen, large balcony and ocean view. We would stay here again.
