Awesome trip
We unfortunately experienced delays getting to the boat, but the staff kept in touch the whole time and made us feel very welcome once we got there. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble and everybody had a smile on their face. The boat is old and a little dated but clean, comfortable and has everything you need. The food was great and nobody went hungry. A couple of issues with Nitrox supply and some air conditioning units not working properly, but they got sorted promptly. The diving is amazing and the dive guides were incredible. I don't know how they find all the amazing things they pointed out to us, from Wobbegong sharks to tiny nudi branch's and shrimps. There were times where the currents were quite strong but the guides help you out and look after you. The absolute highlight of the trip for me, has to be the huge Manta Ray (3-4m) at the cleaning station for at least 7 minutes in front of us. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough.

Sitio de ensueño para buceadores
En general es un sitio muy bonito para bucear. El tiempo acompañó y sólo hay que tener en cuenta que, los días posteriores a la luna llena, la corriente es más fuerte. No me gustó la condescendencia con la que me trataron a veces los guías. Tal vez por ser una mujer que viaja sola, me pareció que se olvidaban que era una cliente más, igual que los demás. Agradecí a Endro (pido disculpas si no escribo bien su nombre), el encargado del motor, lo bien que me trató un día que me encontré francamente mal. En general, la tripulación fue muy amable, lástima que las personas con las que al final pasé más tiempo, fueran las que me hicieran sentir más incómoda.
