Comments	Great attitude of staff made the entire time enjoyable. The 2 1/2 hour drive to the resort made New York City driving seem tame by comparison. The house reef was a teriffic dive site with lots of wierd "critters" from giant frogfish to ghost pipefish. On dives the guides would find the small stuff with ease, but didn't force anyone to follow their route. The baitball of small fish at Pescador island was fantastic (despite ripping current there). I plan to return.
