Comments	We keep going back because it is so nice and so easy. I'm a macro photographer and always find new subjects, many super micro size (1/8" and up). My wife goes for the larger animals, sharks, rays, groupers, etc. but also likes the small stuff. Ocean Frontiers is top notch. Friendly staff with different senses of humor, especially Kevin. We dove on the west end 1 day with another operator and the comparison was clear. Over the years we have dived with several operators and Ocean Frontiers is the by far the best for taking care of their clients. When you arrive you give them your gear and then they take care of it throughout your visit. It is on the boat every day for you, all set up. At the end of the day you put it in a basket and they take it away to wash and dry. The new Nitrox system should be installed by now. Continuous blending so you will get accurate 32% fills. Compass Point rooms are on site, very comfortable, have kitchens, laundry, full audio/visual, free WiFi that really works, good beds and great views. Our room is only a few steps from the boats. The WiFi is so good that I can work remotely on my customer's computer systems and Skype call clearly. Compass Point has older rooms on the beach side of the road and a new building across the road with larger rooms. The onsite restaurant, Eagle Ray's, offers a nice selection of very good food and drink and even offers room service.
