Comments	The diving was very nice - lots of small things to see and photograph: frogfish, seahorses to the point of tiring of seeing them, pipefish, nudibranchs, flying gurnards. Some very healthy sponges and coral life; large schools of chromis but no large animals or pelagics. Saw one small Southern Stingray and one small barracuda. Water temp was nice and warm (82-84 F) and a 2.5 mm shorty was sufficient. Dive staff was wonderful and knowledgable about the sites. We went diving with Larry, DJ and Callie and enjoyed diving with each of them. The dive shop itself has no retail to speak of but there is a place to rinse and store your gear. The staff set up our equipment each day and changed it over between the dives. The boats were fairly small, max of about 8 guests which was nice. Day trip to Falls of Baleine with 2 dives and a stop for lunch was a great sightseeing/diving day. Definitely a place to go back to and dive again. Would look for another hotel though - we expected Rosewood to be a little nicer than it was. The hotel was old and not near the beach, but only about ten minute walk from the dive shop and fairly easy access to buses and taxis to get around the island. It might be nicer to spend a little more and stay on the beach.

UW Photo Comments	Great potential for macro photography. The boats weren't really set up for cameras - a small fresh water area on one boat, no fresh water on another. We took digital photographs so don't know availability of film processing.
