Comments	The worst thing is thjat the reef is dead. It is completely bleached. The Dive operator did the best they could to entertain us with the sharks (blacktips and Lemons presant on every dive, but there are only 2-3 dive sites. there is no diversity, the reef fish is scarce. Would not recomend any more than 4 dives on this island. Dives are twice more expancive than the Carribean and except for some sharks you will be disappointed. The safety of the dive operation is anotherb issue, I did 10 dives with them and every time all the crew was in the water leaving nobody on the boat. Despite the factb that the boat is at the mooring it is still unsafe. Overall attention to detail was not present. I wish my travel agent warned me about the reef condition and not sold me a 10 dive package. The Hotel was greatm and overall vacation fabulouse, if you go for honeymoon or romantic getaway this is the best but leave you BC and camera at home.
