Comments	Great resort, very good diving, and no ugly surprises (Like Liat not getting your luggage to you for 3 days in Dominica some years ago!). Diving here is like putting a dive trip on 'auto pilot' in a good way, once you are at the resort. All meals, dives, and even a few drinks are included in the package, and it's a very small island, so you don't have to try to figure out where to eat or where else you need to go...just eat, dive and repeat and everything you need is within about a 100 yard radius of where you stay. Rooms are very nice and the restaurant is well run, with good friendly service, and the food is good and plentiful-you'll never go hungry here. Bar is a stone's throw from the restaurant and the people who run that are very friendly as well. Same with the dive operation-very accommodating and 17 dives are included in the package. Divemasters/guides are excellent, and serve the needs of divers very well. On one of the afternoon dives, one of my divers inflator hose came lose for her BCD, but the dive guide was at her side almost immediately and fixed the problem underwater. They are there with you if needed, but don't 'overmanage' the dive, allowing divers to pretty much do their own dive once they determine you know what you are doing. It seems as if most of the groupers (several varieties) in the world have relocated to Bloody Bay Wall, and are very tame as well-it's as if they know it's a marine park. Lots of tropical fish (grunts, tangs, wrasse, angles, durgon, snappers, cowfish, triggerfish, puffers, and parrotfish, etc) as well as many Green sea and Hawksbill turtles, morays, stingrays (occasionally a spotted eagleray), octopus, squid, lobster, and a few nurse and reef sharks, and some of the best wall diving in the world. The water visibility makes this truly like diving in an aquarium. If you need shopping or you don't dive and need some sort of diversion, don't go. Likewise if you need a great TV-sometimes it works and sometimes not, but you don't have a plethora of stations to choose from. This is a place for people who love to dive, but don't like to 'fight the current' (like the Galapagos) or have very low visibility, or other 'challenges' on a dive. It's as close to diving in an Aquarium as you'll likely get in this hemisphere. Weather was great in June-hot but not hotter than it would have been at home in the southeastern United States. Great place for getting good underwater shots if you are a photographer. I haven't taken a group here since 1994 when Molly the Manta was in residence here and featured on the cover of Skin Diver magazine, but liked is so much I'm taking a group back in the summer of 2017. Truly one of my favorite places to dive in the entire Caribbean over the last 30 years. In comparison to most dive operations this one is excellent.
