Comments Most flights arrive quite late in day and divers board late. Be prepared to receive boat briefing, sign releases and set up gear before sleeping. Did not get to bed until 2:00 or 3:00 AM with an 8:30 checkout dive the next morning. This is because the boat does not carry rental gear and any missing gear must be obtained from dive operator stocks prior to boat sailing in middle of night.

Dive guides were outstanding, as was the food and the service. The captain worked hard to make entries as easy as possible.

Prices are very competitive now due to travel warnings and regional terrorism concerns. Travel smart and those risks can be minimized. Very little competition on any of the wrecks. Even diving the SS Thistlegorm, we had only one other boat on the wreck and only for two of our 5 dives there.
