Comments	This is a small operation, the majority of the divers are return customers, I almost did not get a spot on the boat. They limit the boat to 8 divers. Jeferson is amazing the best dive master I have been with the best briefings, the best entry into the water. The team is outstanding I can not say enough about how helpful they are and they want to make sure you have a great time. I am headed back this June again. The island is interesting and what an airport. Go to youtube and check out the landings!

UW Photo Comments	I was pleasantly surprised on the diving. I have dived Bonaire the last three years. So I had high expectations, on one dive I had reef sharks, turtles, schools of fish all at once - I could not decide what to focus on! The boat is small but VERY nice max 8 divers so you hold the camera. But the pictures I got were great
