Of course, it just sort of came naturally, I think Jeff would understand :

Well the beer there may not be the best in the world, but the STAG beer is
5.5% :-) And in an all inclusive
hotel it was difficult to NOT drink :-)
A lot of the dive sites were not brilliant, but they sort of grew on me.
The vis was mostly crap (we were at the bottom
left end of the island - not Speyside). We did a great night dive on a
wreck called the Maverick, some people logged
it as their deep/night/wreck/penetration specialities all in one :-)
The better diving was at Speyside (top right hand end) where the vis on the
deeper dives was certainly much better.
But the corker was diving at the Sisters (top end) where we saw a large
pair (6' ish) of Wahoo as we went down, then
a little later we saw a Greater Hammerhead that was a good 3m long, shortly
followed  by another that had to be 4m !!
These came within 2m of us & were an incredible sight - they are nothing
like a reef shark or nurse shark  - these beasties really look like they
will rip you to shreds at the drop of a hat (or tropical dive bonnet for
those that have dived
with me previously :-)
Cheers......
