Comments I had not been diving for 3 years and although I prefer pacific diving, I just wanted to go someplace that was not a long flight due to Covid. The islands required visitors to be vaccinated and I had to do a Covid test within 3 days before arrival and the boat arranged testing the day before our return to satisfy US requirements. I was also required to have trip insurance that covered Covid. The airport on Provo is a nightmare. There were so many people there on the day of my return flight that the lines to get anywhere were horrible. I guess leaving on a Saturday is not a good idea.
I had been on the island staying with a friend at a resort for a week before getting on the boat, so took advantage of the pool to refresh my skills. I certainly felt rusty on my first few dives, but all was good after that. My expectations for the health of the coral was low and it was certainly that. I have been diving since 1998 and have seen the changes due to global warming. There were some interesting fish and coral to be seen but, overall, they were markedly reduced. The crew was great and really tried to provide a good experience. The food was quite good and wine was served liberally with dinner.
