Comments	If not staying close to the shop, you need a rental car reserved before getting there or cost is more. No covered area on boat to keep items dry, or shelter between dives if raining. Take a large, very sturdy dry bag. Boat comes back to shop inbetween dives. Shop does have free lockers and will store gear overnight. No outdoor shower, 1 indoor shower in "unisex" locker room that is due to be remodeled. Nitrox available for extra cost if reserved in advance. Very nice crew who still dive even if only 2 customers come, and if you need them to, will carry tanks to boat and accommodate for physical disabilities.
