Couldn't tell ya, I did nothing but shore diving. They didn't look crowded though when I saw them going out or coming back.

We were on this boat all week. (not my shot) - all the others were similar.
I don't think you could get more than 12 on the boat - esp. since they do two tanks b4 returning. One afternoon dive out to Forest (Klein) it was 2 of us and a dutch couple. We saw them signed up and the office said they'll go with 4 so we paid $20pp to go. Since we'd dove with the DM all week, he just floated along blowing rings till we all ran out of air.

This is one of the nice things about Harbour Village (and I don't want to sound like I'm flogging the place--I've never stayed anywhere else on the island, so I have no basis for comparison). The associated dive operator, Great Adventures, runs three boats a day, at 9:00, 11:00, and 2:00, if I recall correctly, whether they are full or not. In fact, if they have one diver signed up, the boat will go out. And it is frequently the case that the boats go out fairly empty, since Harbour Village attracts less of a hard-core diver crowd. So for the lazy diver, it's as close to ideal as you get without a liveaboard: walk the 25 meters from your suite to your locker, move your gear another 10 meters to the boat, and relax for the 15 minute boat ride to your dive site (on your private crewed boat, if you're lucky). I opt for the unlimited tanks plus 11 boat dives package ($330). Since there are 5 of you, you might also opt to charter the small boat for $200, and do a dive/snorkel trip to Klein by yourselves.
Golden reef inn is not on the "beach". It is a short distance from Buddys. They have a pool and a 2 bedroom suite with a kitchen. The prices are extremely reasonable. We had breakfast included. Not luxury accomodations but well priced and clean.
