Comments	The DM (Santos) that we were assigned to exceeded expectations, he went above and beyond with our group. He assisted with several of our group with equipment that allowed them to dive that day. Several of our group had issues with ears on the first day, the manager at the dive shop was extremely accommodating and allowed the group to move the afternoon dive to later in the week. Dive Paradise worked with our group setting up a night dive and one other dive the morning before we left. I would recommend Dive Paradise and Highly recommend Santos if you are going to dive with them. The only knock was that on several trips we had a very slow boat that tool a long time to get to and from the dive sites. The Accommodations were dated, the rooms were Clean but several of our group had issues with the rooms, the hotel staff attempted to correct the AC issues in one of the rooms but it came back 2 days later. The food was plentiful and good but not great. The hotel staff did the best they could to make our stay good they were attentive and worked very hard to make our stay good. We arrived Saturday afternoon during the week that was blocked for locals and it was extremely crowded. if going here avoid the week before and week after the Mexican holiday.
