Comments only disappointment for us was no whale sharks, however we saw lots of turtles, eels, rays and huge schools of various kinds of fish. Very accomodating to our schedules. We were advanced open water certified while there and the price and training facilities were great! All of the dive staff was friendly, outgoing and very helpful.
