Comments I enjoyed staying at club med but if I had known more about the dive operation I would have used an outside land based dive provider or a livabord. The dive sites visited were only the ones easiest for the boat captain. They revisited the same sites several times during the week. I dove this same operation in 2001 when they had two boats and a special dive event. It was a very different experience. I meet and dove with Tanya Streeter (free diver)and had great dives, since then there has been a deterioration of the reef. Fish life not near the level of my last visit. I guess you can't go back again.
