Comments	Excellent service. Very few divers in June. 1-3 divers on the boat with two dive masters. Due recent rains vis was poor to fair and the small number of divers made it uneconomical to go out to the higher rated dive sites. Most dives were made in the bay off of Playa del Toros. Corral was unimpressive. Lobster, shrimp, lionfish, spadefish, toadfish. No pelagics. Gained my nitrox certification with very knowledgeable and helpful instructors. Used a shorty wetsuit on some dives but due to warm temp used a T-shirt on two tanks Needed a skin suit due to sea mites. Got numerous bites. The dive center is making major improvements to their facility. Future visitors can stay in rooms at the center. Very beautiful location with lots to do.
