Got back late last night/early this morning.
We dove out of Sandals.
If you go there, you will have to do the orientation. Period. It doesn't matter that we dove 2 weeks prior. It is a good thing overall and for all.
There is a lot of dead/broken coral from the last hurricane... however....
The reefs are starting to recover and there is marine life galore...
We saw a nurse shark, spotted moray eel, some saw a blacktip reef shark, a turtle, trumpet fish, lots of yummy lobster, plus all the other fish....and... wait for it...
a nice 9-10 foot hammer head decided to swim by us no more than 20 feet away...
I got a pick, but it wasnt the best... he caught us all off guard. We saw him at Billy's Grotto.
Sandals did a few "deep dives" (50+ feet) a few mid dives (40-45) and only one like one or two 30 foot fives. Do the 2 tank 7am dive or you will be going out at 11:30 with all the discover scuba diving people and doing only a 30 foot dive. We will be going back! I manged to get a pic, not not a great one.
