Comments	One of the best diver operators I've had. Very sensitive to diver capabilities and needs. I and my family dived with 5 mm wetsuits on the first day and were cold in the 77 degree water. Without our asking, they simply showed up for our next day of diving with 5 mm shorties that fit over our full body wetsuits. Charged us only a modest $5/day for the additions that made us comfortable on all subsequent dives. Steve, the captain, and his dive masters are all very personable and extremely knowledgable. Bob produced octopi on nearly every dive. He, Jamie and Mary found frog fish, scorpion leaf, and a number of other pretty rare critters. Although we dove with some beginners, one even doing her certification check-out dives, we never felt inhibited and were allowed to stay down as long as our computers would allow. Six diver maximum!
