Comments Diving with three different operators during a full month of stay, all PADI 5 star.
In our case we did dive with local dive masters, group of 3 total.

We had expected way more corals, being Bonaire as our golden standard this was a disappointment.
Seabed mostly rocky.

Coming up from one dive in choppy water the boat was nowhere in sight, we bobbed along for over 20 minutes before it turned up
Wat happened was that one of the other divers (with another dive master) had an equipment failure and the captain took the wrong decision to get him ashore for replacement rather than to stay around telling the person to just stay on board.
