I did 3 days of morning dives with Top Dive, the dive operation on the resort property. They, and the dives, were fantastic. Coral is very similar to Hawaii, no big soft corals, but seems to be in much better shape. There is a greater variety and abundance of fish, however.
I had a camera malfunction on the first day so I did not get any pictures that day, but we ended up going back to the exact same sites on day 2, so…
