It was quite windy and therefore the surface condition was quite choppy.
Because dive sites are so close to the resort, small boats are used. You
need to remove BC/tank before re-boarding but the crew lifts your BC/tank
back on board. This is true "valet" diving. I would go a bit
later in the year next time due to windy conditions.
