Enforced diving restrictions  
For the wall dives a limit of 100 feet was specified, but one could go
deeper without a tongue lashing from the guide. It was rather silly and
bothersome.

Ocean Divers is a truly top-of-the-line operation. It is perhaps the best
run diving facility I have ever visited. The 100-foot restriction is a pain
but can be endured by ignoring the banging on the tank alerts when you are
observing something interesting deeper than the limit. The guides are
friendly and extremely helpful. 14 dives in 3 1/2 days were no problem. The
seas were unusually calm and the water temperature excellent, as was the
visibility most of the time.
