Really enjoyed diving with Clive. He is punctual, attentive, and very accommodating. One day he took me out by myself because there were no other divers signed up. He picked me up every day and brought me back to the place I was staying. He limits the number of divers to 7 so the boat is not crowded. I would dive with Clive again and I would be comfortable recommending him. |

Enforced diving restrictions | Rule of thumb 60 minute dives but I was always allowed to stay down longer. Clive would surface with the first people out of air and I completed my dives staying up to 15/20 minutes extra | ||
