Comments	Despite the change in management (Gladys Howard's daughter Susan has taken over following Gladys' untimely passing), things continue to role along with the same combination of relaxation, good eating and quality diving. This is a very good thing. Unfortunately my dive buddy/spouse was suffering a sinus infection and could only dive the last day. We had purchased the all inclusive dive package. Gay and Michelle each pointed out that she could move to the relaxation package, pay only for the dives she did, and we'd save some money. "At least that way you aren't being hit twice." Kudos! Our group had two fairly new divers and Gay spent time with them on buoyancy and weighting. By the end of the week they'd each dropped pounds and were much more comfortable in the water. Again, kudos. One of the Yellow Rose's engines kept overheating and was not fixed despite valiant effort. However, it did not impact dive site location, just travel times. Still more kudos. Brandon is a new chef and keeps to the same high standards. When there were fewer guests, he preferred to plate the meals (with style) rather than the typical buffet. New dive master Tiago keeps up the high level of dive guide performance. We did switch from an un-air conditioned beach front room to an air conditioned "beach front" room and were more comfortable. Have an inquiry in for next year!

UW Photo Comments	On the boat there is a rinse box and a dry table. At the resort there is a fresh water sink. With more than one rig, things would be tight.
