Comments	This was our second trip using this same operation and the service was excellent both times. The typical dive trip had 8 or fewer divers and often there were 4 or less (we were at low season). Entry from their boast was using a backroll from the sides and the crew was very helpful in taking your gear before you climbed aboard via a ladder. Fresh water was provided on board after each dive and the trips to and from the dive sites were usually fairly quick. We originally chose this group due to the personal service they offered as an instructor to my dive partner on her basic diver checkout dives (last year) and for her advanced open water course this year. Our dive package consisted of 2 dives in Cancun at the Manchones, followed by a night dive in the same location then two dives in a cenote - chac-mool and ending with a deep and a drift dive in Cozumel at Palancar Gardens and San Francisco. Wetsuits were only needed for the Cenote dive and rental of them was minimal. Rental gear was adequate and had been updated with new computers. Having our own gear was a plus and if additional diving items were needed there are other nearby stores to acquire it (including a Walmart). A rinse tank was available at the marina for your equipment and they also have a training pool there.
