He was fun and patient with the less experienced members of our group. We would love to buy some pictures from Benjamin, but haven’t heard back from him since our dive two weeks ago. The reef appeared very healthy even with the pressures from high volumes of tourism. Hopefully this place will continue to be protected.”
