Enjoyed your videos. Almost didn't watch the 2'nd, figuring it'd be more of the content from the 1'rst, but turned out it was reef organism focused with nice, clear video and a different sound track. Made me wish I was there.

What made you choose Turquoise Bay? Did it have shore diving? Any particularly 'selling points' vs. other resort options?

Richard.

Hello and thanks. We choose Turquoise Bay because they have a dive centre on location. There is no shore diving because the reef is a little to far from shore. The resort has only 10 bungalows of 2 rooms, so 40 persons maximum during the week. Very relax, no animation, music, nothing except diving and it was just perfect like that. The food is local and very good. Good divers and excellent dive masters (Osman). We also rented a car for a night to go in West End. Sunwing is giving 3* and it's fare. If you are looking for diving vacation, it is perfect.

excellent excellent video work.

I really enjoyed your camera angles and use of focus narrow depth of field, both above and below surface.


Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed it.



At a photo contest last year, I won a 1st and 3rd place, which was a week free stay at TBR. You really captured the resort nice and different than many other videos of that resort.


great job again.

Thanks to you my friend. I appreciated this resort specially for diving. The only negative point is that we did not visit Mary's Place and it is on the other side of the Island.

You didn't miss anything by not doing Marysplace. When I was a dive master working at Cocoview Resort on the south shore I must have dove Mary's Place dozens of times...........you honestly didn't miss much.

Hi. I did Mary's twice during the past 3 years. You are right, there is something else, different on this side. My favourite was Dauphin....(don't remember exactly the name). Was big cave in shallow waters. Very nice.
