Diving

General Comments: Excellent location for diving. Can hire or buy almost any equipment, books or maps. Plenty of good restaurants and hotels of every nationality, however very limited on sightseeing out of the water. Worthy of note: More fish & coral than anywhere else, bright colours and all varieties; with excellent visibility. Salty=more lead!
