Comments	The bedrooms are quite cramped and w/o a closet, clothes drawers or enough clothes hooks to hang your clothes we left most of our clothes in our suitcase or clothes bag and shoved it under the bed. All 10 guests have to share two bathrooms with only one shower. There is a camera room but no heated drysuit room or other heated room to dry out damp or wet clothing, hoods, glove, etc. The operator will try to run the clothes dryer when their air compressor is running, in case you need to dry out an undergarment or some other item. The air compressor only runs in the evening when they fill the tanks. A larger heated room would have been nice and more convenient for divers in order to dry out wet clothes, drysuits and hoods. The food was very good and the operator/s (Cathy and Peter) are very friendly, and knowledgeable about the local aquatic life. The dive boat was quite crowded with 10 divers. And with 10 divers there is no room for a camera rinse bucket, or even a small bucket to rinse your mask before hitting the water. Even a very small mask rinse bucket would have been quite handy for those of us with thick and large drysuit gloves. Also, to use the Head or for that matter the cabin of the dive boat one must remove any wet clothing ie. drysuit. Some dives were limited to 50 minutes and/or less, which is not good when you only have a weekend to make a handful of dives. No reasonable explanation was given.
