Comments Quicksilver picked us up in a van from our hotel. We checked in at the shop and had releases to fill in on the boat. Met the divemaster who informed us we'd be in a group of six. There were multiple groups of divers, including discover scuba. We seemed to have been divided into groups based on our experience levels. Our group of six was composed of very capable divers. Everyone was respectful of time, space and sealife. We had one divemaster leading our group.
