Comments	Small boat with capacity for only six divers. Stern ramp for entry and good ladder for reboarding. Boat captain very efficient in setting up for both dives. Dive trip limited to shallow, protected location by daughter taking "resort" course and making her first 2 dives. The divemaster was thorough in his instruction, and very encouraging in his demeanor. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and will likely follow through with full cert. The divemaster was very good about taking her where she could see lots of fish, including groupers, a large barracuda, and several turtles.
