Comments	Our 2-tank boat dive with Dive Safaris were on a newly sunk tug and the older wreck (barge). We had 5 people on the dive. The divemasters were attentive and were helpful, as were the people in the office (a real change from the rest of the "friendly island.") While not the most exciting dives, we did have fun cruising through the barge (saw a couple of very large lobsters, a scorpion fish, and lots of small fish) and the newly sunken tug (even visiting a head). Not many fish were around, however. We very much liked the dive operation (as opposed to our experience with Dive Mania).
