Comments	Horizon made all arrangements for accommodation at the Ramada Inn, next door. Rental gear was old, but in good shape. Discount for signing up for six dives. Capable captain and crew; plenty of room on the boat. Water and juice available. Captain didn't hesitate to pull my assigned buddy out of the water when he was having trouble (good move). Starting on day two the boat was out of commission with an engine problem . . . lost that day of diving. Horizon refered me to Seadwellers for day three, and on day four, since Horizon wasn't going where I wanted, they refered me to Ocean Divers. Good deal! I got to dive with three operators . . . all at Horizon's discounted dive rate. Day Three (Seadwellers): returned to the same sites as day one (*#@&); dive operation was good. Day Four (Ocean Divers): highlight of the trip was the USS Spiegel Grove; lots of current; divers had to hold on to a line or the wreck itself, or risk being swept away. This dive ended too soon. All three dive operators ran professional operations; solid crews, clean and roomy boats, lots of consideration for safety. Boat captains took roll at the end of each dive so no one got left behind. I would dive with any of these again. Only real negative: repeat dives on the same sites (because they were close to port?).
