Comments
The dive masters and dive staff were excellent! The dive equipment for storing my equipment was crowded. The main dive sites were by small boat 3 - 15 minutes from the resort. Approximately 6 divers or less per boat. The larger outrigger boats had 15 - 20 divers. We dove off Apo Island, a 45-minute boat ride from the resort. The muck diving was excellent. Also saw, I saw 8 sea horses, 6 turtles, and 4 octopuses. I saw no large schools of fish or much large fish.

The food was served from a menu and some days buffet style. The food was excellent, and the staff very professional and friendly.

The rooms and overall facility were well maintained and had lovely grounds. The resort would arrange exciting side trips to explore the local area.
