Comments	Michel, Kelly, Paul and Nicki were excellent in all aspects of the dive - Their shop is a little hard to find - located in Phillipsburg at Bobby’s Marina - but worth the effort - Their focus on diver safety was impressive, with less than 10 total divers (including the 2 dive masters on a boat that could easily accommodate 20. Dive Masters took time to brief before every dive and required dive buddies to inspect each other’s equipment before entering the water. In over 38 years of diving I cannot recall any group requiring that safety procedure - The dive boat was extremely easy to enter and exit the water - could reenter with fins on - boat captain was helpful in getting on and off the boat - everyone very friendly and courteous Saw numerous lobsters - one hole in the reef had over 13 - sting rays were found on every dive and the fly over by the occasional black fin shark and barracuda were a pleasure to observe On any return trip to St Martin theirs would be the group to dive with
