Comments It was quite windy and therefore the surface condition was quite choppy. Because dive sites are so close to the resort, small boats are used. You need to remove BC/tank before re-boarding but the crew lifts your BC/tank back on board. This is true "valet" diving. I would go a bit later in the year next time due to windy conditions.
