Dive Review of
Parrot Island Scuba Adventures in
The Continental USA/Florida

Nassau, Grand Bahama, Pennsylvania, Crystal River Florida,

Dive Conditions

No restrictions.  

The boat crew was very knowledgeable and responsive to the needs of
photographers. A camera rinse bucket is available. Although there was no 
designated dry table, there was plenty of room on the boat and I was easily
able to find a good dry spot to change batteries between dives.  

Overall Rating

The folks at Parrot Island Scuba Adventures run a great dive charter. The
crew were friendly, helpful and skilled. I did a 2 tank dive, one wreck
dive on "The Ancient Mariner" and one drift dive along a rock
shelf called "Lighthouse Shelf", at 70 and 50 feet. 
There are many other dives available, including some at technical depths.
Both sites I dove offered great photo subjects, including some nice corals
and sponges, abundant small fish and the occasional large fish.
I got some shots of a large green moray, a large stone crab and a couple of
nice Grey Angelfish, Trumpetfish, Smooth Trunkfish and a Scrawled Cowfish.

Water conditions were good and accurately reported by a crew member who
secured the anchor line to the wreck on the first dive.
The drift dive was excellent! We were dropped off right on top of the ledge
and picked up very promptly at the end of the dive despite 3-4 foot seas.
The freedom to dive your own profile plus the accurate information about
the dives sites provided by the crew made for a great afternoon of diving.
I will definitely be back.
The only down side was a lack of rental tanks larger than 80cf, although
nitrox was available. 
There are some deep wreck dives available, but if you want good bottom time
on them bring your own large tanks.
