Comments	Good dive shop; owner picked me up every day, was friendly and professional, most days dive started on time with 3 – 9 divers. Two new dive masters (30 days & 10 days) knowledgeable but still learning. One dive called after divers got caught in heavy current with limited visibility (30 ft.). Returned to that dive site (Dirty Rock) two days later for the best dive of trip. No rememberable coral but amazing schools of topical and much larger fish, often found myself in a school of fish. Lots of manta, huge morays; white tip reef sharks (largest 3-4 ft.) and turtles. May is the rainy season, however no rain on any of my dive days; visibility was 30=60 ft and was really bad the day the diver was called. I had 8 dives over 4 days and only the single bad dive, 2 were exceptional (Dirty Rock & Catalina), 4 really good sites. Most days the water was very choppy, rough on entry as we waited to descend, always current and surge once down and rough getting back into the boat after the dive…but all was worth the effort.
