Comments	The diving in most spots were average to good. The best spot Neptune's arm was spectactular. Miles from any shore,over the side like a kid falling thru the roof of the first "Toys R Us" and being told everything is free. It was overwhelming, and I've been diving since 1955. You just couldn't take it all in. Gray Reef sharks greeted us with lots of curiousity as we decended. The site is a seris of reefs protruding up from the bottom, almost like a sunken city. We decended around the buildings to the city streets below, and followed the street to the corner and around every corner a new suprise of color and coral, great variety of large and small fishes, turtles, Nepoleans, schools of fish that took the shape of huge fish to keep the many sharks at bay. Finished that dive with one thought in mind, got to come back tomorrow, which we did. Much better dive the second time, not so overhwhelming. It's a long way from anywhere but if you get the chance, do it. Great people, great resort,food etc.
