August 2001 Plenty to see and a greta spot to chill out!

March 2004 The worst place that I have dived. Visibility was poor, the fish species were few and the island was nothing special. A highly overrated destination.

March 2000 This is a great hide away. I did my first diving there by completing my Padi Open Water course. Viz was not great as it was a t the end of the rainy season.

May 2004 better than some places in the region, but nowhere near the best. Lovely location for a few days.

September 2005 Most dives are within 20 mins by boat. We used Pro Divers World at Coral View and they were great.

August 2004 Watercolours is an excelent dive centre, with very good debriefing too. Both my children have learnt to dive here, and we are headed back this year for my son to do his advanced PADI now that he is 12. This will be my 4th visit. Saw lots of Blacktip Reef sharks, and one whitetip.
