Just returned from a week in Dominica. Stayed at the Fort Young Hotel and
dove with Dive Dominica.

Dive Dominica. I had read that they were a good outfit. No limits on dive
times, etc. Not true. Every dive limited to 60 minutes. They pushed for
short surface intervals. All dives 15-20 minutes from their shop. They
refused to go to any of the better sites that were a bit further out. No
assistance on the boat or in the water. We have 10 dives for each of the
three members in our family. They refused to allow us to use some of the
dives from our daughter. Avoid this operation.

Fort Young. Arrived and they said - you know we are doing construction!
They did not tell us they were doing major construction fom 7 AM to 8 PM
every day - Christmas and New Years included! No offer of compensation,
nothing.
