    Love this dive and so glad we booked with this company. We had a full boat (12ppl) and I had no issues feeling comfortable heading out to the dive. I'm a novice diver (6 total dives at the time) and the dive master and outfitter made me feel 100% comfortable on the dive. My only complaint is where do I dive from here? It's such an incredible spot with larger fish and sea life than you can see anywhere, yet I've only just begun diving. I give myself 1 star for my predicament, and 5 stars to this dive center from showing me the best time of our trip.

    The dive is pretty awesome. The staff are all great. The trip there and back can be quite nauseating so make sure you take something. Unfortunately the battery of my dive computer died on the first dive so I had to go without.
