Comments	First, there are few dive operations on Bermuda, and unless you are willing to take your life in your hands on a moped, you must resort to busses, ferrys and expensive taxis to get anywhere. Although, the reefs themselves are very healthy with sea fans, coral, etc., there are few fish. Those that we did see were usually very colorful. The wrecks were really not very impressive and the artifacts, such as bottles I'm sure were planted there. The boat had too many divers on it to be comfortable and several were "resort course" divers. Certified divers were sort of left to fend for themselves. Although, not expensive compared to other dive operations, you didn't get much for your money. You were expected to set up your own gear, very little orientation to the dive sites was given, no juice or snacks (only tap water) when you got out and little help in doing that. Bermuda itself is dirty and everyone seems to smoke. Frankly, I would not return on purpose and certainly not to do any diving.

Enforced diving restrictions	They required you to wear two extra pounds, due to the water being salty. I think it was more for their convenience, because many of the divers were new.

Large fish 5 stars but bad review??

I truly do not remember giving that dive anything but 2 - 3 stars. If I did, it was a mistake on my part. My apologies.
