Comments	No "bad". Food is average-to-good, and that's the worst thing I can say about this place. It truly is what it advertises -- designed by divers, for divers. I doubt you will find more professional, friendly, personalized service anywhere. Go diving when no boat is scheduled? Check. Want a meal that was a special yesterday but not on the menu today? Check. I could go on. The diving was amazing. Mantas circling us at the cleaning station; Mandarinfish mating up a storm each evening; sharks. Pretty reefs, swimthroughs. A variety: shallow, low-viz diving inside the reefs, with lots of mandarins and other macro; 100+ viz outside the reef, & all the life you'd hope for out there. Can't wait to go back!

UW Photo Comments	Only buckets on the boat but they made sure I had one. GREAT setup in the dive shop: your own personal lockable storage with worktable on top; lots of recharging ports: air blower, chamois, magnifying glass at each station. Awesome!
