Comments	The Toucan Diving staff was helpful, friendly and flexible. The operation was professional. Lockers and rinse tanks were available. You could pull up with the truck directly to the filling station to pick up fresh tanks and to (un)load your equipment. Hotel staff was also friendly and helpful. There was a leak in the room from above and it had to be evacuated. The move was completed within 45 minutes and an upgraded ocean view room. The only negative moment on this trip: I was the last one in line to see a seahorse and take a picture of it. I was patiently waiting, finally approaching it as all out of a sudden I was pulled on my fins and pushed out of the way by another group of 3 divers. I did NOT touch anything. It turns out it was a dive master/guide with Captain Dons Habitat. That same person was noticed again through reckless driving a boat after we left the dive site. There was a pod of dolphins and divers from a third boat were snorkeling with them. He came with relatively high speed within a very few feet (2-3) of them. All you could see was panicking snorkelers raising their hands and trying to get away.
