The eel was on a day dive...we ended up not doing any night dives.
We really liked the RR's....it was perfect for what we wanted.....just kick back & relax,like being on the East End of Grand Cayman. Carlos n Charlies,San Francisco and Paradise beach clubs are right next door with the first one being about the same distance as the wooden pier from the condos. Closest freestanding restaurant would probably be Albertos, but it is 5KM away. A car would be nice if you can swing it and you have assigned parking at the condos. We rented a van the 3 days I was there and then Connie rented it again the last day. It cost $330 for the 3 days with all insurance & $130 for the last day, but the convenience factor was worth the cost. It enabled us to load all six of us plus all our dive gear at the airport without having to deal with the shuttles...that would have been about $170 just for that to get to the condos. It also enabled us to get over to Coconuts & Bob Marleys with the minimum of fuss.
Very quick to the dive sites also...over the course of the week we dove the three Palancar sites,Columbia sites, Dalila & Francesco, Yukab,Chankanaab Balones and Paradise.
Also, I have to give credit to Connie for the photos.....I was attemting to shoot video with my new rig, but the currents and not having dove in a year, made it so difficult, I gave up after the first day & concentrated on just having a good time & getting used to the unnatural act of breathing underwater....and yes, I made Connie come up way before she needed.....can you say AIRHOG! She is a much better diver than I am.....it usually takes me a couple of days to get my breathing regulated to where we have about the same bottom times.
