Comments	My wife & I returned for the seventh consecutive year diving with Ocean Frontiers & stayed at Compass Point condos, just 100 feet from the dive boats. We rented a car from Avis, traveling about 35 minutes to the resort. The weather was a problem, with a tropical wave that turned into Hermine giving us rain & wind, but we did not miss any dives. The dive boats are fine & this remains our top rated dive staff that we have dived with. The condos are in excellent shape, clean & convenient. The on site restaurant is good, especially lionfish tacos, burgers, etc. The diving was good, with pretty good viz, little current & was 85 degrees. We also dived the Kittiwake, off Seven Mile Beach,& it is a well done wreck dive. The corals looked good, with good fish life & lots of juveniles. We saw about 4 lionfish all week. We dined at a number of local restaurants, & all were very good, especially Tukka's. Overall, this is a well run operation & we will definitely return.

Hi Tripp, after 7 visits, you and your wife must be close or have your green shorts by now. My son, Jeff, and I dived with you in 2011. My favorite operation too, would love to return. Craig

Hey!! We got our green shorts last year & now working on 2nd set ( most expensive shorts we've ever had, but worth it!) Hope to see you all again soon.
