They had no special facilities for UWP however they had large rinse tanks
and workspace for set up.  Very accomodating to photogs and divemaster
pointed out many subjects and angles.

I rented almost everything from the shop. The gear was very basic.  I only
brought my own mask, snorkel and spare air. Next time I will also bring my
regulator, bc, mask and fins -- rent their tanks, weights and shortie
wetsuit.

That being said, the gear all worked well -- it was just basic (full foot
snorkel type fins, an assortment of med-grade rental regs) and the wetsuit
and bc were not bad at all.  Can't recall the brand, but the bc was fine -
I just like my own weight integrated vest better.

They were very nice, both on the phone and on the boat. Very knowledgeable
and worked with those on the boat who had gear problems and fine-tuned
dives based on experience of divers.

This is also a wonderful deal -- the prices were very cheap and included a
nice lunch during the surface interval which took place at a beautiful
beach with great snorkeling.

I am going back and using this same operator -- very satisfied.
