“Our stay completely met our expectations. World-class diving and the resort’s preservation efforts are reflected in the health of the reefs. The onboard experience was exceptional – hot towels, fresh towels, warm tea and our guide was best in class. He learned how we dive, accommodated our needs and identified critters or corals we wouldn’t […]
