Great SCUBA Trip - we will be back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 9/6/11
So glad we were able to take this Dive trip. Best reefs, swim-throughs, highest coral heads we have seen (120 dives). The marine life in the Florida Keys was much more abundant, but the reefs at AKR were awesome. Loved the short rides to the dive sites. We stayed on the key with A/C. Would not have it any other way, especially since there is no place to get out of the heat except for the SCUBA classroom. No A/C in the restaurant. The Dive Master (Frank) took his time, so we had ample time for taking photos/videos. The walk (climb) to the restaurant three times a day wasn't too bad. By the end of the week, you get used to it. There were plenty of bugs. We used "skin-so-soft" on our lower legs and deet over all. Worked fine. We were in cabin 32, just about the furthest cabin from the boat dock, so the bug repellent was a necessity. Food was really good. We both had minor stomach problems near the end of the week. I had major problems by the time I arrived home. Glad it waited. We only did the diving - did not leave the resort. The only extra we did was the shark dive, which we were really glad we did. We got to swim with the sharks prior to the feeding instead of just watching a feeding frenzy.
