Comments	This is a very well drilled dive op. The boat can accommodate about 16 divers but on most days we had 8-10. Over a week of diving we went to various reefs, ledges, tongue and groove, mounds, We dove both in the Sir Francis Drake Channel, the Pillsbury Sound and surrounding waters. Dive sights were 15-20 minutes boat ride. There are no really deep dives so we were able to have slightly longer dives. There are lots of fish, the corals are coming back from a period where bleaching was evident, especially the staghorns, turtles are very common. The biggest fish we saw were a school of tarpon. There were plenty of the usual suspects. Three types if angels, Atlantic Spade, grunts and snappers, parrots, sgt majors. spooted and golden morays. Many types of corals and lots of filterers like fans and wisps.Ashore there are very nice accommodations, restaurants and some of the most beautiful and private beaches. Some of my favorite dive sites were Ledges of Little St James .Cow and Calve rocks and Booby Rock.
