Comments	Very friendly service from reservations to check in to onboard the boat. Dive guide provided should you choose the service. Rainbow Reef has packages for area hotels that save you $30 a day on the rooms. My dives were $75 per day for two tanks. Nice shallow dives on the nearby reefs-dive an hour, they switch your tanks as the boat changes moorings, then back in you go. Depart around 8:20-30 and back in by noon, 12:30. I suggest that a dive locker-storage facility be built next to the boat dock. It is a PITA to haul gear away each day. A intern could set up a valet rinse service and make good money.
