Excellently run dive spot. Things for others such as birders, snorkelers, ham radio operators and island collectors. Friendly well organized experience. Tips for divers wanting to see hammer head sharks, and the like. I highly recommend the experience. Great accommodations and excellent food. Bill Altaffer San Diego
