Comments GOOD-Dive operation supplied us with 3mm wet suits, without charging us when the water was colder than expected. We had complete freedom to dive our own profile. We were given $5.00 vouchers for every dive we did, to be redeemed at their snack bar.Fills were 2900 on average(cold).Dive staff was very friendly and accommadating. BAD-We were told that 2 of their 3 dive boats were down, we ended up with 18 on our boat, but even this was handled well.New divers were told to wait until experienced divers got in the water, this resulted in many shark encounters for us. No nitrox available. I wish I knew how cold the water was.
