Comments	First of all the resort was very good. Ginny and Tom (owners) went out of their way to be accommodating. Food during the week was very good. Breakfast and lunch were included in our package, dinner was separate. The resort dinners were on the pricey side but when you consider how they have to get their food and look at the prices in the grocery store it is understandable. The portions were huge and most of us could not eat the whole serving. Dive operation is good. Boats are small - we had at most six on a boat. They are open basic flat bottom boats with no amenities. However, the dive sites are a five minute ride and you return to shore for surface interval so the lack of amenities is not a problem. The wall is even a swimmable distance - however, it is a long swim. If you want to do an afternoon "shore" dive the best thing is to get a boat operator to drop you off on the wall and then swim back starting with about 1100 psi. There was no camera bucket on board but there was a separate fresh water tank on shore and you could leave it in there during the surface interval. The coral is healthy and the wall is spectacular. Lots of fish and critters - even a few odd ones. Saw a couple of hawksbill turtles - one was a juvenile. The only disappointment was the lack of pelagics and even the lack of eels. In our group we saw two spotted morays and one green moray. A couple of nurse sharks were seen, and one person saw a couple of dolphins in the distance. But we didn't see any reef sharks or eagle rays or what would be considered relatively large animals. Most of the dives were relatively deep 90-110' but the top of the reef was generally 25' or so which essentially made the last half of the dive a safety stop. We had absolutely flat waters and 100' vis the first two days. A storm came in and stopped diving for Tuesday, then some chop Wednesday and Thursday but still decent diving. Friday was calm again.

UW Photo Comments	No rinse bucket on the boat but the surface interval on shore gave you a chance to leave your camera in the camera basin there. Boats had little space and once we did our surface interval aboard because of choppy shore conditions (our choice - the divemaster would have gone in if we wished) so taking care of the camera was difficult.
