Comments Great operation run by the same people for many years. We had Caribbean reef sharks on every dive and a tame large Nassau Grouper that loved to be scratched under the chin. The sharks are present on every dive as the divemasters are actively spearing lion fish to keep the population down. The sharks ignored us. Diving in San Salvador is about the structure and the hard corals. It is primarily wall diving -- with some spectacular walls covered in pristine coral.
We did three separate dives where we entered a hole in the top of the reef at 50' and came out on the wall at 130'. Because we were using air, we had to immediately ascend up the wall to avoid 0 NDL -- not hard or scary - you just need to be watching your NLDL limit and dive accordingly. This was our fourth time at this resort.

UW Photo Comments There is very little macro opportunities. Diving photography is best with a wide angle lens. That said, I did get a great photo of a head shield slug.
