Of course they have reefs there, just not coral reefs. You don't need
coral reefs to have coral. I can find you corals out here in Southern
California where I can assure you we don't have coral reefs.

I was there in Nov. and learned a lot about diving in the area. The best
diving was at El Morro but you'll take a heck of a pounding getting out
there. It's an hour and a half ride boat trip each way.

I used Chico's dive shop and they were very good to work with. You can
make a reservation via their web site.

For the non scuba part, if you like great and cheap massages we went
here from a cruise ship and it was great.
Millenium Massage in the Hotel krystal
We paid for 2 massages $75 usd for 75 minutes each massage. That was
both of us for $75 total for 75 minutes. This was Nov 2006.
The contact I have for reservations that did not require money to
reserve was "Leandro Ivan Arzumendi" <milleniummassage@hotmail.com>
It also gave us use of the resort pool which had a slide that I
discovered you can go down very fast if you are covered with massage
oil.
