Comments The service of the staff was exceptional. For morning two tank dives, you are required to be at the dock rather early (the sun wasn't up yet). However, once on the boat, breakfast burritos, coffee, pastries were waiting. The check in process is rather cumbersome. They use an online waiver system. The online waivers were explained in the reservation confirmation email, but not stressed that it was the 'only' way to sign waivers. Our first day, we showed up thinking we would just do a quick fill paper form, only to wait 30 minutes to use one of two iPads the staff had available. The online waivers must be completed for every trip, regardless if your diving with them four days in a row. The boat staff took care of weights and loading them into BCs, tank change overs and had dry towels for all at the end of the day. Groups of six were led by very competent Divemasters or Instructors and the groups were broken up into ability levels of the divers. Briefings were exact and descriptive.
