We were at CCV from May 5th to the 12th. The diving was fabulous. We saw a ton of marine life. On a night dive I saw 6 octopus and a squid. The shark dive is a must do!!
The first day we arrived, I was a bit nervous. They had sandwiches for us and they were awful. I thought the food was going to be terrible, but it turned out to be good the rest of the week. The carrot soup was excellent.
We stayed in beach house 9. I wouldnt stay in a beach house again. Too many bugs. We saw one of the over water cabanas. It was much cleaner. As for the bike ride from the beach houses. No big deal. The ride wasnt as far as I thought it would be. The only problem was that on every bike ride (and I mean EVERY one) my fiance would repeat "ET phone home". The bikes look like the ones from the movie. I wanted to shoot him.
As for the dive operation. It was perfect!!! I dont think I ever carried a tank more than 2 ft. Everything was so easy, rinse tanks, lockers, drying racks. We were on a boat with Jesse and Reuban. They were both great. Jesse is a God. He keeps all level of divers happy on the same dive. My only complaint is that I was exhausted from soooo many dives.
The service was great. I ran out of shampoo and conditioner while I was there. I put in an order and it was in my shower the next day.
One final thought. My fiance and I both took a photography course while we were there. It was with Tim (he only works one on one). It was soooo much better than the Padi course we took. We learned a ton. My pictures were great by the end of the week.
So yes i would go back to CCV. And by the way. I had no problems with the no-see-ums. I dont see what all the fuss was about. I did wear Cactus juice for 3 days. I just expected it to be alot worse. I must have sour blood!
