Comments	Incredible diving and lots of current situations. Many times on most dives we used reef hooks. Found Wobbegong sharks on many dives. Most dives sighted black tip and white tip sharks. Many nudibranchs were located. Saw pigmy seahorses, cuttlefish, dart fish, bumpehead parrotfish, a couple of Napolean wrasse, mandariinfish, Barramundi, crocodile flatheads, lots of sweetlips , signal goby, lots of tropicals and the most healthy coral we have ever seen. Don't miss the Passageway dive and we found the Fam diving the best. Our favorite dive site was Sawanarek. The resort and staff were outstanding, always helpful and friendly. Our bungalows were on stilts over the water and were huge.
