The place that we stayed has about 4 hotels on the site and has its own dedicated dive schools on it's privately owned beach. What immediately astonished me was the pure white sandy beach and superbly clear blue sea that went on for miles. I knew instantly this was going to be good diving. The price for diving is reasonable and the staff are friendly and so funny.

It is a two minute walk from all the hotels to the dive shop. They will even come and get you from your hotel and walk you down. They have a desk at all the hotels by the pool so you can see and ask them questions. It is a PADI Gold Palm resort

There are about 3 or 4 dive sites all of which are boat dives and take about 5 - 10 minutes to reach. These are Shark Point, Coral Gardens, Sandy Ray & Brain Coral. To get to the boat the hotel has a mini bus to pick you up and take you to the harbour where you get kitted up.

All dives are spectacular with plenty of fish. Nearly every dive I saw Angel Sharks, Lobsters, Crocodile fish, Zebra fish, Tuna, Reef Sharks, Turtles, Rays and amazingly the huge Whale Sharkwhich is regulary seen. It got so close we actually got to touch it and swim around with it for about 5 minutes before it dived down to the unknown.

Happy Diving
