Nice staff and a great team Bob Fendi is a great dive master… Frank is a great manager. The ambiance was friendly, the food was amazing, and the beach party was great. We went to three different islands and had a great time. I think they should pay more attention to sanitation and hygiene. The undersea world was quite attractive, but you couldn’t see very well. If you like macro photography and little animals, I suggest you go to Raja Ampat. You can only get 1 GB of free internet, and it costs 10 euros per GB to buy.
