While snorkeling along Ulua Beach I was following a sea turtle when I was washed up on to the coral reef by a rogue wave. My knees, hands and back were scrapped and full of black sea urchin spines. It took a while to get off the reef and to shore. I?ve been diving for years and know that the spines are not life threatening, but when I saw that the scrapes were swelling I decided to get medical attention. The Resort Medical Service at the Grand Hotel was nearby and very quickly attended to my injuries. They get my top rating-
Pros: competent, quick
Cons: a little hard to find in the Resort
