Comments We have visited the Brac more times than we can count and have always stayed at Brac Reef Resort which has been excellent. This time we rented a condo/car and just drove back and forth for diving/meals etc. It was a nice change of pace since my wife did more sleeping than diving on this trip. At the end of the dive day we still found ourselves at the Brac Reef resort bar catching up with old friends. As always the DM's are the best in the business and we are looking forward to our next trip to the Brac.
Staying at Carib Sands was much quieter at night as there was not karaoke etc.....also the condo management had our refrigerator fully stocked upon our arrival with everything we requested...we chose to eat breakfast in and usually ate lunch/dinner at Capt Table.
Reefs appeared pretty healthy and seemed to be on the rebound after the '05 hurricane season. Didn't see alot of bigger groupers or nurse sharks this time though.
As always we will be back!!
