Comments	There have been some changes in personnel at Living Underwater - Oracio is gone. Jeremy is now in charge and he is doing a great job. The determination to give divers what they want, rather than what is convenient for the dive operator, is what makes Living Underwater a real jewel. We abandoned another dive operation that we had been diving with for years when they stopped focusing on where we wanted to dive and took us to the same old dive sites over and over again. Instead of deciding where the dive was going and imposing it on divers, Jeremy let us decide, within the limitations of our abilities, where we should dive. As a result, we were able to dive sites that I haven’t been to in years, including Barracuda. Jeremy was also flexible about the time that we started diving so that a few days, he picked up divers at 6:30 am (don’t panic, it was by consensus). There are a lot less folks out diving at 6:30 than just a few hours later! I also did some less challenging dives with my 12 year old son. It was a good mix of sites including Punta Sur, Santa Rosa Wall, San Francisco Wall, Delilah, and Punta Francesca. The 120 and 95 steel tanks make all the difference – minimum time down (excluding Barracuda) was 72 minutes. We also discovered a new restaurant - La Lobsteria, on Avenida 5 Sur at Calle 7. As the name implies, they had lobster which they prepare with several sauces or just plain old broiled with butter. There was also pasta, fish, chicken, etc. The service was charming and the proprietor genuinely gracious.
