Unfortunately, the jetty on the house reef is absolutely unsuitable for diving. There is only a steep, narrow ladder leading out of the sea (partly against the current). Jumping into the water to dive is obligatory, as the other guests showed no consideration for divers.
Unfortunately, the dive center is not (yet) an Extra Divers standard. There was only the base manager and a guide who made you feel welcome. Everything was very impersonal. No great (family) atmosphere like in the other Extra Diver bases we have experienced so far.
Dive sites are forced, even if the weather doesn't actually allow it due to swell. Absolutely a terrible experience for beginners. Even I as a TL found the spots impossible for a vacation dive. A trip to Elphinstone was promised on advance request. Unfortunately, it didn't look like that on site. It was not possible. There are no boat trips at the hotel itself. Day trips by boat 2 TG are possible from Port Ghalib. It takes about 40 minutes by mini bus to the boat launch. Attention. Snorkeling tours are also offered on the tour. So many inexperienced snorkelers on board.
Pay attention to the bill at the end. We were charged twice for a guide and an unbooked lunch. But this was deducted again without any problems.
We won't be flying there again. Not a really nice diving vacation.

We had with the dive center relaxed beautiful dives.
The team is very friendly, helpful and responds to all wishes, as far as possible.
In the base is a very family atmosphere.
Always gladly again.
