Comments	I have dove with this operation when it was ITS A DIVE- They are now "Pirate Island Divers" We were told the seas were 2-4 feet but found out 5 to 6 feet... A Professional operation however they will cut your second dive short letting you know they have to get back to get the afternoon dive started... why cut my dives short... I'm a paying customer and don't like being rushed! 25 divers on boat- Captain and 1 mate- Had to help myself back on boat. Could have had more help om boat. Good things- Snacks and drinks on boat. They do have rinse tanks on dock- Storage lockers on site for divers. Store staff are more interested in if you buy something from store than you diving. Made 4 dives with them and not sure I will make any more....I brought 7 people with me to dive. TO many operator in the Keys to be treated like this. Read the refund policy very carefully....
