Comments All dives are lead by a dive master or instructor. After they get to know you, they let you stay in the water extra time at the end of the dive, generally an additional 10 minutes. We encountered turtles, squid, and tons of fish. I saw 2 Lettuce sea slugs, and a mantis shrimp. The corals are in reasonably good shape. We had a good time and most dives (10 dives total) were in the 50-55 minute range with a max depth of 60 on some sites and a max of 35-40 on other sites.
