Comments	My third visit here, we brought all our children and their partners to share the experience. Even my infant grandson joined us. We insisted the kids, ages 21 to 33, get certified ahead of time and complete their open water check-out dives at the resort if they wanted to dive. All but four complied and were diving with us after their first day. There were 14 in our group and nine divers. The non divers spent lots of time snorkeling out front and loved it. This was the perfect place to accommodate us. Jim with Dockside completed the certifications for the kids and we dove with Kirk and David who both took really good care of our first-timers. Sadly the reefs aren't quite what they used to be, but we still had spectacular dives. Kirk is great at spotting micro things like seahorses. We saw plenty of eels, turtles, and a couple of spotted drums along with the regular suspects. We rented three houses on the beach (they don't allow children below age ten in the resort proper) but ate all our meals at the resort and took advantage of the pool table and ping pong for tourneys etc. For me this was the trip of a lifetime, to share the diving experience with our family, play silly word games at night, and laugh and share our dive sightings. The new management is really spiffing up the place and did a great job. Three in our group arrived late due to travel delays etc. (one had to renew her passport!) and the resort accommodated them with extensions to their trips at no cost which was very kind. We rented a van for an afternoon day trip to the West End and had a blast shopping, bar hopping and swimming. A few of the youngsters swam out to a boat moored in the harbor with a dive platform, and performed diving feats for us. Yes, we tipped a LOT at the end of the week but all in all well worth it. We all were provided with our boarding passes before we left the resort, which makes it easier at the airport. Wish I were still there!
