'For divers, by divers' is the motto here – meaning that there's terrific shore diving, morning and afternoon boat dives, and various training programs, all just a few steps from your door. Rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable, some with ocean views from the balcony. A full, hearty breakfast is included with packages.

The open-air, thatched-roof cabana is the perfect spot to recover from your day under the sea. Important to know (even if you're not staying here): on-site My Bar serves the island's best curries. Unmissable!
