The base manager's job was obviously to read out the names of the divers/snorkelers from a blackboard at 6.30 pm and who was going on which boat. The dive sites were described very briefly and that was the end of his job. Otherwise he was neither visible nor approachable. This was due to the fact that all his attention was focused on a tourist. After the dives, the lady was then entertained at the jetty with guitar strumming or, in the worst case, sung to with cat howling. They didn't ask how our dive was, let alone perhaps sit together in the evening and discuss or identify the creatures, some of which were new to us. There were hardly any identification books and the guides disappeared immediately after the dives. We were assigned a very young guide who did his job without any emotion or joy. In most cases he was at least 30 meters away from us. As experienced divers, we didn't see this so narrowly, but we found it borderline with other travelers who had just 10 dives and the guide was 50 m away. We were astonished to see that hardly any of the guests had a diving certificate and that nobody cared. The boats are in good condition, the crew are very helpful and the equipment is well looked after. The dives in general are strictly scheduled, i.e. get up every morning at 6.30 am, breakfast at 7.00 am and the boat starts at 8.00 am. The trips last a maximum of 40 minutes. The 1st TG takes place there. Afterwards we head for a small island (most of them were full of plastic waste) or an empty fishing hut. There is a 1-hour break with coffee and a snack. Then the 2nd TG. Then back to the resort. If you want, you can do another TG in the afternoon. However, this is always close to the resort. The house reef is not very interesting compared to the other dive sites. So you have to make do with 6.30 am or not dive. Conclusion: the dive sites were excellent. The base is poorly run.

World's best dive sites for schooling fish enthusiasts, little coral bleaching in December 2024, unfortunately often poor visibility. Extremely individual diving possible.

The dive sites are absolutely amazing. I have never seen such good reefs. The abundance of fish and the diversity of species is unrivaled. The guys from the base found something special every day. From candy crabs to wobbegong, a dream.
