Comments	This was my first experience with Buddy Dive. And I'm so happy I took the risk and went with my gut feeling. The boat is about two years old, beautifully appointed. The crew is helpful, although it would be better to know Spanish. I've been diving for a long time, but I'm seventy-five and not as agile as I used to be. The crew was always available to help, carrying my tank for me, even putting on my fins--which I could have done. The diving was outstanding! I can't count the number of hammerheads and other sharks we saw; they were everywhere, coming to within five or ten feet of divers. There were also huge schools of big-eyed jacks, tons of other fish. And one small octopus that wouldn't play. I saw a manta, but it was far away. Others saw a whale shark. Missed that one. Thanks, Buddydive
