Comments	Let me start by saying I believe they have an overall good operation. This particluar dive was called 11 mile reef. There were 3 folks on board getting their OW cert dives so the dive was easy for beginners despite the surge and lack of visibility. If I use this operation again I will take plenty of my own water and snacks. The only support on board was 2 coolers of ice (most probably for spear fishermen) and a container of warm water with styrofoam cups. The divemasters were very good though. They helped you put on your fins before giant striding in, and they were there to help with gear upon exit. Briefings were to the point. There was a complete roster check after every dive. When you get on board sit in the middle of the boat or take up residence in the cabin area next to the captain. The back of the boat smells of deisel. The down side of South Caolina ocean diving is the long trips out to dive sites.
