Good Dive Operation. Liked those 120lb low-pressure steel tank. Got an hour plus on all dives. The small, covered, fast (twin 150 hp outboards) got the pack to the site or pier as fast as you wanted. Nice restaurant for the surface interval.Good divemasters. Owner was very flexible on our dive trip changes. Boat did not have camera rinse tanks. Hotel Barracuda was a clean & adequate facility. The restaurant was not open at all for the first 3 days. Desk staff could only shrug when asked why it was not open. The hotel was convenient to other places to eat as well as the downtown area without being too close. The onsite dive op, Dive Paradise, was not open to discussing dive information when they found out that we were diving with another shop. Kinda silly, IMHO. They were, however, agreeable to renting us tanks for a shore dive at the hotel. |
