I just wanted to put my 2 cents in for Amigos Del Mar dive shop. Dive with them always adn never had a bad trip! (I too am fairly new to diving with less than 50 dives under my belt).

As for places to stay - well it depends. Are you fgoing solo? Family? Friends? Want a kitchen? close to town? For me - Caribe Island Resort. South of town with free bikes to take into town. Has everythign I needed there - with some serenity, and a great staff. And a free taxi ride to town for dinner and a night out!
