Comments	This was my fourth trip diving with OF. As mentioned in other reports, they will rinse, store and setup your gear between dive days. It's nice not to have to rinse it yourself, then drag it back to your accommodation. Multi-day discount of 5+ 2-tank trips gets you a $99 US price per trip. 12 tanks of Nitrox for $99 (single tank price available). Onsite accommodations include kitchenettes, but I've stayed at the Reef or Morritt's on timeshare exchanges. If you're tracking your dives towards the "Green shorts challenge", the crew will attempt to get you to sites you need for completion, depending on conditions. You will usually stay on the same boat during the week, so they will also attempt to avoid repeating dive sites during the weeks. Visibility great, weather cooperated this week (no rain or strong winds). First dive usually a wall dive, followed by a shallow (35-60 foot) reef dive. Saw a shark or two on about half the dives. Walls and reefs in good shape. Few lionfish spotted due to aggressive hunting to cull them; a few restaurants have lionfish on the menu. Not overly abundant fish populations compared to some other islands (I dive in Aruba every year and see more large schools of fish, eels and angel fish). Small schools of tarpon on several sites. Advantage to East End diving is that you will rarely see another dive boat nearby, unlike the west end. Crew really seems to enjoy their jobs and interacting with guests.
