Comments	Good: Good facilities for hanging/storing gear. Dive masters friendly and knowledgeable. Good boats, plenty of space. Easy diving; minimal current, visibility OK; lots of sea life, but mostly small stuff. If you were into macro photography or like to hang out and just shoot something very easy to do. Shore diving available but I did not do it. Bad: Nothing to complain about, but dives were very tame and repetitive. Typical profile: descend to about 50-60 feet swim for 25 minutes, then return at about 20-30 feet for 25 minutes. Spend remaining time below the boat. Would have preferred deeper profiles, especially on the return. Very few larger animals, only saw turtles on two dives. One sleeping nurse shark.
