Comments Ocean Divers is a truly top-of-the-line operation. It is perhaps the best run diving facility I have ever visited. The 100-foot restriction is a pain but can be endured by ignoring the banging on the tank alerts when you are observing something interesting deeper than the limit. The guides are friendly and extremely helpful. 14 dives in 3 1/2 days were no problem. The seas were unusually calm and the water temperature excellent, as was the visibility most of the time.

Enforced diving restrictions For the wall dives a limit of 100 feet was specified, but one could go deeper without a tongue lashing from the guide. It was rather silly and bothersome.
