Comments	it was adequate, the rooms were clean, air conditioned, and the food was enough to fill the gut. nothing exceptional, and kinda boring after a few meals . the dive shop wasn't as good, and we kept having issues (they just wanted more $$$)the owner (Apple) promised our group extras and then didn't tell her staff. she was never there at the shop, and we had to argue, and make them call her to get promised perks. it seemed that they were just trying to nickle and dime everyone , and that was their #1 priority . they didn't even have o-rings for the tanks they gave us. if i ever go back to Coz, i won't stay there due to the dive shop(not the boat crews though) the boats and diving were great though .

UW Photo Comments	i got a lot of good photo's of scenery and fish on the first two dives of the day because we went south where the currents were less, and dives were deeper. the afternoon and night dives were ALWAYS shallow , fast current drift dives. challenging photography, but i got nurse sharks, and a splendid toadfish by ducking behind formations and getting out of currents . the boat crew learned how to handle my camera and they had shallow rinse tanks onboard . not much room to store, nor work on camera's onboard though. (other boats had more space) the dive shop and hotel has no camera facalities and are not used to photogs .
