Comments	Fifi's operation is superb. Great people and a focus on service. They set up all gear, switch your gear between dives and rinse and store it for you. It is a long boat ride to the sites, we dove French Key one day and the West Caicos wall the next day; each took about 50 minutes to get to. They served lunch in between dives. Staff were genuinely friendly and wanted everyone to have a good time. The boats were pristine and uncrowded. We were asked to follow the group on the wall, but could dive our own profiles and timing. DMs were looking for sharks, turtles and unusual small critters, making sure we saw them. We were picked up promptly at 8:15 every day, but did not get back to the hotel until about 3:00--with sunset early this time of year it did not leave much time for the beach, which was lovely. We will definitely go again, probably dive two days then skip to enjoy the beautiful resort for a day, then dive again.
