Nice pics Grahxen. I stayed at that same Radison two summer's ago. My son and I spent most of every day snorkeling around the 3 man made reefs just of the beaches. There was really some nice things to see (anemones, feather dusters, nurse sharks, stingrays and lots of fish). We also took the shark dive with Stuart Cove and it was awesome. That was one of the coolest things I have ever done.

I was fortunate enough to win a trip through my job last year and got to stay at Atlantis. Now you talk about cool! That place is like heaven on earth for a reefer!

Yea, the radisson is a great hotel. The beach was one of the biggest/cleanest ones i saw while being down there. I took the trip over to the atlantis hotel to see what all the rave was about. I snuck in past 5PM when the tour was over so i didnt have to pay 30$ per person to see the aquarium :). The hotel is really nice, the shops, the food. The only thing i really didnt like that much was the beach area. Thought it was to small. I was thinking about choosing that hotel before i chose the raddison but the meal plan was to much for my budget. All in all I spent a total of $1,980 which included airfare, hotel, taxes and an all inclusive plan. Eat whenever, drink whenever. I added up my receipts alone for food and drink and they were about $1300 in the 7 days we were there. So got a nice deal.

Heres 2 shots from the man made reef you were talking about. I didnt have my snorkel gear this day so i was basically snapping pics blindly down there. But still some nice shots reguardless.

We also stayed at the Radisson because of the all inclusive plan. Two kids would have cost me a fortune in sodas alone at Atlantis. But if you ever get a chance to stay there, do it. It is awesome.
 
i just got back from there as well, we stayed at the atlantis resort, it was amazing to say the least. Its definatly the way to go, i also went diving, but i went with bahama diver. I dont have any pics on hand, but it was a nice little trip. It was kinda expensive, but hey my parent payed for it :)
