One week of blissfulness
It was an enjoyable trip with the crew. Rooms were a little cramped but very clean overall. Variety of food was commendable & my vegetarian diet was taken care of. Dive sites are simple and all about small fish. Overall a happy ending

- Young energetic divemasters. Quality of crew. Fresh food & ice cream.
