Greetings all,

Just booked a fortnight's family holiday next month in Dom Rep at the Coral
Marien by Hilton on Costa Dorada.

Anyone ever been to this hotel?  According to the brochure it has a PADI
diving outfit on site, any idea of name?  What's the diving like - any "must
do's" - any operators to avoid, etc

Also, having only dived in metric areas (i.e. depth in Metres & pressure in
Bar) is the Dom Rep within the American sphere of influence in terms of
measurements.  If so can anyone point me in the direction of a good
explanation of conversions from cu ft to bar etc?  Anything else to watch
out for?

Tried "Googling" etc and lots of people asking questions, but few replies
from anyone who's actually been.

TIA
