Comments	Great operation...8 divers max. The 28 ft. boat was great on the day I dove but there is limited shelter on a rainy day (who cares, suck it up!). Mickey and Jayne (principals) are attractive, professional, gracious and very competent hosts and crew. The boat is very well maintained and has full safety gear -- O2, radio, etc. Good boat briefing. I usually prefer to set up my own gear, but didn't object when Mickey schlepped my gear aboard and set up my rig. Valet diving at its best. Both Jayne (hottie, BTW) and Mickey are quietly yet obviously competent -- reassuring. The diving was great! Sunny, flat seas, and great vis. The NW point of Providenciales had great walls, lots of reef sharks, very healthy coral (no bleaching or algae cover) a couple of friendly turtles, and a whale that other boats reported off our stern that we unfortunately didn't see! Short and sweet site briefing w/ emphasis on navigation landmarks for an easy return to the boat for those going off on their own. Perfect. Profile is up to you, as long as no deco and you come up w/ 500 psi. I poodled around in the shallows for 20 min. longer than the others on my 1st dive w/ nary a comment other than a cheerful "how was the dive?" from Mickey. I recommend Flamingo unreservedly, which is rare FWIW. I'll dive with them again. Oops, battery is dieing!
