Comments	rough surf we should not have gone out. one of the other divers in the front of boat dropped and air cylinder and they were not no concerned at all. To be safe if you do go take all your own equipment. I rented a BC the best one they had was a POS. during the dive I told the guide 3 times I was out of air he kept waving me on. I finely had to surface. NO air no reserve. If you dive with them you better be at least advanced diver. make sure you have your snorkel and SMB. I was out there 15 min alone no air last one picked up. they made us take a vote for the 2nd dive if we wanted to go we voted no so no refund. When they were getting me on the boat they were in such a hurry to get there BC they broke my GO-PRO off my glove so one lost camera. Even my cousin who lives in San Jose said he would never use them again.
