I'm surprised that you did not mention the beach. and I think you missed out on the best part. the snorkling just off the beach a 5 min. walk down from the resort. Turks was awsome. yes some babysitting by the DM but I like it that way anyhow, turtles and sharks and so much more to see. Nice wall dives and ben on the two tank trip. I found them to be well prepared and made sure you logged your dives. back to the snokling. although the diving I found to be really good. after the dives since my wife does not dive. We went snorkling. tis reef litterally started right on the beach and we got to see just as much on that reef that I did diving. I would highly recomend beaches resort. one more thing you mentioned the restaurants but again left out one favorite of mine... the sushi bar. always fresh and always plenty of it. mnnnnnn. I'd love to go back one day. it was super nice. also they allowed us to come up with 500 psi on many dives and I had 850 on one. Than again I'm a houver.

Well I never went to the snorkeling area, really hate sand, and don't eat sushi. So guess why I didn't report on any of those . Also after talking to some people who read my report I want to make it clear that i am not saying that I wouldn't dive at Beaches again, especially considering it is part of the all inclusive. All I am saying in comparing the two ops is that Beaches doesn't stack up against some of the dedicated dive outfits for divers with more experience. Beaches however was still what I would consider good diving, just more supervised than I like.

cool, but... I will be the first to saythat I'm in no way an expierienced diver. and 51-100 is not that much more to qualify as an expert wouldn't you say? Its too bad that you did not snorkel due to not liking the sand. Its and awsome site and I would reccomend it again and again. I've never seen such a pristine reef so close like that. as for sushi... next time you dive just use you knife and go for a snack. I gree with what you are saying about supervised though.
