Comments	We had cancelled the week before as seas were 5-7 feet. By the following week, conditions had calmed down, and although the vis wasn't great-it wasn't terrible either, and the seas were calm. We did 4 dives with them-the dives are guided- three were just ok patch reefs; one of those dives where shrimps and hermit crabs are being pointed out. The last dive was on Alligator Reef- which is always like diving in a fish bowl- nurse sharks, green and spotted morays, mid night parrots, large school of cudas, grunts, lobsters, margates - a real delight. The operation is very friendly, serves orange slices between dives; water is available. A roll call is always taken, and a dive breifing given. Entering and exiting is easy; but we don't like removing our fins so far from the boat on the line. The operation will set up, and switch over your equipment between dives, but make sure you check it yourself- one of our party missed a dive becase of a faulty connection. They will rinse and stow your equipment overnight- be sure to check everything is there before you leave the dock. Lazy Days restaurant- 2 doors down from Bud & Mary's Marina- has great food, and a great view.
