Dive Review of
DiveTech/Cobalt Coast in
Cayman Islands

 Australia, Belize, Roatan, Utilla, Bonnaire, Cozamel. 

Dive Conditions

Strict time limits of 40 minutes, occasionally 50 minutes were allowed.  

One boat had no rinse tank for cameras, (or anything else).  Cameras were
placed on table and had to be moved quickly to accomodate a smoking engine.  

Overall Rating

Dive operation was faulty.  No initial boat briefing.  On one dive over 20%
of the nitrox tanks were unusable because they were underfilled.  On
another day, they ran out of water after only one dive.  Divemasters had an
attitude, they strictly warned us about harming the coral yet were found
knocking into it with the boat captain going into small crevices.  The
first day the original boat spewed deisel fumes throughout the dive area so
many people got sick.  It dumped its coolant into the water on the third
day, almost caught fire and limped back to port.  The next day we had a
better boat from a different operation.  The van they used to transport us
to and from the resort to the dock broke and we were stranded for about 45
minutes.  On one day the nitrox tester failed and they didn't even have a
pen to write into the nitrox log.  Yet the divemasters asserted that there
was nothing wrong with their operation.  The resort was great.  However, if
they want to be a first class dive destination, they should change dive
operators.
