Comments	CATALINA DIVERS SUPPLY: I called well in advance to arrange a "guided private series of dives" so that I could get more experience with drysuit diving. They were superb. Reservations were well handled and friendly. Donny was a superb helpful dive guide. Very professional, helped me with my drysuit and very calm and understanding. I could not have had a better experience. The water IS cold though not ice diving. We went through a lot of kelp, saw an angel shark and a couple of seals. There is a rich "macro" environment. I was there for the drysuit experience and I was very happy with how they handled that. I would definitely go again with this superb operation. Seaport Village Inn: All I can say is RAUL IS THE BEST. He is friendly, helpful, accomodating, hard working, and and excellent communicator. If the rest of the world had his attitude, we'd probably have the cure for cancer by now! OK..that's a stretch, but he's wonderful. The SVI accomodates divers with transporation, allows you to "hang your suits", and they even served us breakfast in bed (OK..brought it TO our room as part of the free breakfast). The rooms are NOT luxurious. They are adequate. But they are clean and a GREAT VALUE. I would definitely stay here again if diving Catalina.
