Jeff Jarvis of the HMS Minnow (hmsminnow.com) runs an excellent dive operation. He takes a maximum of 6 divers so that he can get out before the cattleboats. He also treats you like an adult. He provides a good dive briefing and then leaves it up to you to dive your own profile. You need to be back on the boat with 500 PSI. We were down for more than an hour on some locations. The weather ranged from great to poor the weekend we went. One day there was a very strong current on the surface and the seas were cresting at 3-5 feet. The next day the surface was flat and very calm. Plenty of barracudas, eels, and fish schooling. We managed to dive the Spiegel Grove, which is already getting good coral growth. An excellent weekend. |
