Comments	This was the worst of "Cattle Boat Diving". Dangerously overcrowded boats, 35 divers on a boat designed for 20! No oxygen, no emergency equipement, NO saftey briefings, Little briefings of any kind. Very disorganized. Only trying to pack as many people as possible on a boat. No one in charge or knowing what they were doing. Promised all sorts of great sites and then took us to the same poor sites. No repair equipement, not even o rings for there own tanks. Everyone blamed everyone else and made all sorts of excuses and provided NO service at all. Many times no dive guide accompanied the dive group. I will Never use this company again. It is a miracle they have not killed someone!
