good point! it's nice to hear you keep coming back. I went with Den Laman for a few reasons (price being one) but I'm sure we'll still swing by captain don's to check it out. in some ways that first trip was really special because i was solo, and it was a great place to make friends with other divers and buddy up, but i wasn't sure this is what i'd want if i am going with my husband. but now we have all the flexibility in the world (for just one week!) so we'll definitely explore and hopefully we'll be back many more times in the years to come. thank you for your input!
