Overall ValueAccommodationsMarine Life FoodExcellent crew. Extremely accommodating and approachable and providing everything you would need for a fantastic dive trip. Fun and safety were paramount to the team with this being the first trip I have been on where 2 dive masters were provided per dive. Boat and food were great and the marine environment was fantastic. Fortunately we had some luck with the wildlife with masses of schooling fish, turtle, reef sharks (lots), Manta and whale shark. Ernesto and team deserve high praise.
