This dive operation is small and the only one in this area,Very friendly,
Had to transfer to second boat to go out to reef. Was not pleased with
divemaster, strong current- other diver came up one mile away, divemaster
never missed him. They gave a boat breifing and never followed. Other
divers on boat did not make second dive, they just asked to be taken to
shore. No O2 -first aid kit or fire ext.on board, asked about. They said
they are only 5 mints. from shores did not need. they had an electrical
problem, just wired it together until it smoked...Very concerned about
diver safety with this operation.We canceled our remaing two days of
diving.
