Comments We started this journey very hopeful to dive with dolphins and hammerhead sharks. The crew was a little stand-offish at first, but by the 2nd day we were all good friends and had a great time. There was a good variety of people from different areas of the world, so we enjoyed learning about other people's countries. The diving was up and down. The reefs are VERY healthy and beautiful. There were tons of different colored fish and the wrecks were great. HOWEVER, I didn't see any sharks, rays (except small blue spotted ones down on the sea floor) and no dolphins. We stayed anchored at the Dolphin House so that we could dive it 2 times, but still no dolphins close up. There were a lot of snorkeling tours there and they were chasing the dolphins with their skiffs. That made them all move away. I hated what they were doing to the dolphins, and it was dangerous underwater with the skiffs zooming around overhead. Overall though, it was a nice week and I enjoyed it.
