Comments [None]the boat we reasonably equipped but crowded. the freshwater tank for cameras held 1 camera. not adequate. the snacks provided for a two tank dive that involved 45 minutes of motoring each way and a 1 hour surface interval were really skimpy. no bottled water.dive briefing was short and not particularly interesting or helpful. on two of the dives the accompanying dive master TRAILED behind the divers thus not in any way helping find interesting things.
most annoying was that one of our group developed tinnitus and nausea after the second dive so we cancelled the next day with nearly 24 hours notice. NO REFUND.
