Comments	Location of dive shop is not in commercial area although boats are moored in small inlet at dive shop, so although travel to dive shop on land (by dive operator's courtesy buses) take 35-45 minutes from most hotels, the dive sites are only 5-10 minutes by boat, and you can load boat directly from dive shop. IMO-operations are geared to MANY divers and snorkelers as well as underwater sub operations, not necessarily the individual marine life. I would say dive operation is more of a MONEY MAKING MACHINE as compared to a 'dive shop'. All dives booked in advance are NON-REFUNDABLE (within 15 days of the dives). They rent equipment in good condition and seem to maintain it well. Many people used SC's equipment and did not bring their own. SC is the main operator, by another subsidiary (Blue Adventures) of all the diving and underwater activities at the VERY large Atlantis resort nearby. We chose 4 days of 2 tank afternoon dives including the shark feeding dive. Only on Day 4 did I see a wall with real coral. The other 3 days, including the shark feeding, was shallow diving with sandy bottoms and wrecks-which had not been in the water very long. Good diving for newer divers like my teenagers. Not very interesting for experienced divers. Previous reviews by other writers are still accurate, in my opinion.
