Comments	This dive was on an island that had a good size reef surrounding it and for the best diving you need to get outside of the lagoon and reef Saw plenty of black tip sharks – it seemed like more came around after I had brush my leg on a coral and I was laying out a small trickle of blood (:>)!! – I was wearing a farmer john wet suit that ends on your thighs The dive shop is relatively small – dove with the owner and co-owner who were very attentive to the divers needs – there were two divers from the cruise ship and 3 locals from the island on the boat with us – The day was rough so we just made one dive – But on that dive saw over 15 black tip sharks in the area -- was easy to get in and out of the boat – considered it a very safety conscious organization – Would definitely dive with them again if I go back to this island
