Comments We did two tanks while we were down on our charter boat. They came by in the dive boat and we did took our dingy to meet up with them (rendezvous diving). They were very safety conscience. The reefs at Pelican Bay and Kelly's Reef were in excellent shape. No visible bleaching or lionfish. The max depth was 53 feet, vis was about 65-75 feet. We had a large group so they sent us down with two dive masters and we broke into two separate groups. We could go at our own pace as long as we knew where the group was. We saw the usual suspects of fish but more than anticipated. Everyone on our group was surprisingly good on their air consumption so despite them saying it would be about a 50 minute dive, we went over an hour on them both (the shallow waters helped) and we all came up with 500 psi or better. We SI'ed at a restaurant beach area which was nice. The only neg I would say is that they had no snacks onboard for the SI (again, you could go to the restaurant). Overall, I would recommend. While not spectacular, it was a sweet day of easy and lovely diving.
