Lolotte, the divemaster, was fantastic. She handled everything from the briefing to the supervision, with a kind and humorous approach. The boat was well-equipped, and the staff was incredibly attentive. Many thanks to the entire team. The water was crystal clear, the marine life superb, including a sneaky hammerhead shark and a friendly turtle. In short, wonderful dives. The only downside was the airport/hotel transfers on arrival and departure: no one was there to meet me at the hotel, and there was a delay (or they forgot) when I left...
