Comments	Dive staff very attentive and provided excellent service. After we set up gear first dive, they took care of everything the remainder of the time, including rinsing and storing all gear at the end of the day. The water was always very choppy but they have devised an excellent technique to get a diver back on the boat without bruises: A dive master comes to the ladder when you surface and holds on to your tank while you remove equipment before climbing ladder. Dive sites are mainly 5 minutes away and surface intervals are spent on shore at the shop. Dive masters were great at finding critters. Never had more than 5 divers on board. Very careful and consistent handling of Nitrox protocols. Villa Margarita is a guest house only a few minutes away. It overlooks the sea in a beautiful setting and the hosts are fantastic. Great experience there.
