Comments [None]Boat, services, diving all excellent. I did not know before going that boat offered only Nitrox, not straight O2, but since I am Nitrox certified and have a Nitrox capable computer it made no difference.While I took a 3 MM wet suit, I only used a skin since the 82F water required little in the way of a wet suit.

Subject Matter N/A Boat Facilities N/A
Overall rating for UWP's N/A Shore Facilities N/A
UW Photo Comments [None Boat ell run, clean , good fabulous , diving esy - just giant stride off stern, roomy dive deck lockers for your gear , 5 dives a day offered ( 4 day, one at night) , viz usually 100 ft+ and water at depth 82F ( so wore skin for protection, but could dive just in trunks and T-shirt). After awhile you have seen pretty much all there is to see- beautiful walls , lots of Carib. Reef sharks, Barracuda , Hawksbill turtles , Moray eels, Horseye Jacks , lots of colorful small fish.I gave a 4 star rating for advanced divers only because the dives were not challenging ( e.g., no really strong currents or hard to reach dive sites).
