Comments	I dove with this same shop in 2015. A few of the dive masters have changed but the shop is still owned and run by Luria who is a savvy, fair businesswoman. She has good equipment, it doesn't all look brand new but it is all fully functional. Her dive masters, Ava, James and Rai are really great. People all have their favorite, but when I spoke about being able to dive slowly and really look concentratedly at corals, all the dive masters I spoke with listened. I would say, james with his marine biologist college major background was my favorite for speed, then Ava but Rai was still an excellent leader. The boat captain, Riccardo is awesome. I love it when the captain helps me with my BCD and tank. I feel youthful but getting up a panga ladder with BCD and tank are tiring for me. The reef is in pretty good shape. You can definitely see some bleaching but all in all it is health as are the fish. I didn't see any lion fish until the last 2 dives and it is sold at restaurants all over which makes me happy. The coolest things on this trip were the shy Manytooth Conger Eel and Bioluminesence on the night dive. And the Eagle Ray on my first dive!!! Along with the regular tropical fish were a couple of free swimming morays on our day dives. This is also a great snorkeling area if you have non divers in your group.
