Sam was amazing. The boat...
Sam was amazing. The boat was very crowded and so were the dive sites. This is a very busy dive and Sam did a great job of trying to make me feel comfortable alone. No other divers spoke English so it was very lonely.

Amazing Diving Experience!! Book it!
Amazing tour from start to finish! I had the best day!! The staff from the driver, cooks, dive crew were all outstanding! My dive master, Sam really made the trip special. I was traveling solo and Sam made me feel so taken care of! He was so attentive, prepared, and professional! He went beyond all expectations and took over 200 photos of me and the beautiful wildlife. The trip is well timed and organized so you get plenty of time to explore the beautiful coral and fish. They kept everyone well fed and hydrated too! I highly recommend this exciting experience!
