Comments	First time diving the San Juan Islands Washington and booked onto Island Dive and Watersports charter for two days of three tank dives. A drysuit is highly recommended. They supply steel 120 tanks and weights. Nitrox, trimix and argon available. I used argon for the first time and its worth it. Saw 3 giant pacific octopuses the first day. This is a very professional run charter company but also extremely friendly and are very concerned that the customer has a good time. Island Dive is located on San Juan Island, Friday Harbor. You must take the ferry over from the mainland.
