Comments	The diving here seems excellent, the dive shop seems to balance betwween being a hardcore wrek diving place and dealing with photo people flying in from everywhere.The group we had was experienced northeast wrekers and the staff seemed to focus on telling us what we couldnt do, albeit politely. The wreks were beautiful and the sand tigers seemed to show up as if on cue. the current can rip tho, a dive on the uboat was quite a ride and would not have been a place for a beginner-or a northeast nutjob with a fortyfive minute obligation. The bunkhouse seemed a little chaotic;the shop owners wife now runs an antique shop behind it and a word with her cleared up a few issues.However it is first come,first serve dorm style housing. be forewarned,the people who showed up at 1230am and found it overbooked slept on the couches in the lounge. the bar next door was good eating, not much to do in town otherwise.we will go again, and we will be there early to get bunks! cya u/w!!

UW Photo Comments	i wasnt shooting this trip but buddies were. they crew tried to be helpful but the camera tables on the dive deck seemed smallish. plenty of room to setup in the cabin, but no carpeted surface there.
