A nice place for dive training. It has camp site and cottages for overnight stay.

I’m a still new to diving, so we stayed mostly around the opening, although I went down to 61.9’ – my record – with an instructor. At 11:30am, it was crowded, divers were on top of each other. Can’t imagine the high season. One of my mates said it was horrible, with more than 40 newbies floating around …

The bathroom has showers. There are two twin sinks to wash off your equipments. A ramp going down which is super convenient because I start using a wagon to ‘transport’ my gears – instead of carrying.

We left at 5:30. The sun was out, and the park was pretty empty – it felt tranquil.

I got to meet both turtles: Virgil and Turbo, and caught one in my video.

… and more

A pit stop after diving at Blue Grotto.

Won’t return.

Colorful decor (loud), good service, yummy chips but my quesadilla is bland. The spicy sauce is also tasteless.

They don’t have liquor license yet.
